GnomeFont is deprecated. It has its own config files and doesn't match
the display font API.
We have to move libgnomeprint to just use the Pango font API, which
means using fontconfig underneath in the end, so we don't have
multiple config files.
The only way to have the same fonts in all apps and on the printer is
to have everyone on UNIX using fontconfig.
