Subject:	Missing 'Luxi Sans' font

Following a request earlier in the year, I rebuilt mscgen with freetype 
support. mscgen required a default font that was scalable, and as Cygwin 
had a fairly limited selection of scalable fonts back then, I opted for 
'Luxi Sans' from the 'font-bh-ttf' package.

In the recent font reorganisation, the package 'font-bh-ttf' was made 
obsolete, replaced by 'xorg-x11-fonts-Type1'. Now, 
'xorg-x11-fonts-Type1' doesn't provide 'Luxi Sans' - in fact, this font 
is no longer provided in Cygwin. Is this intentional? I'm guessing this 
might be because 'Luxi Sans' has a non-free licence - see [1].

If the user has the 'dejavu-fonts' package installed then 'fc-match 
"Luxi Sans"' will find 'DejaVu Sans', so at least mscgen will pick a 
sensible font by default. I'll rebuild mscgen to use 'DejaVu Sans' as 
the default font - hopefully I'll get round to this at the weekend.

Dave.
