Package: freej
Version: 0.8.1-4
Severity: normal

When adding a text layer, freej comes back with the following message:

 no truetype fonts found on your system, dirs searched:
 /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF
 /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype
 /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType
 /usr/share/truetype
 you should install .ttf fonts in one of the directories above.
 can't initialize text layer
 requested free on a NULL pointer
 layer creation aborted

It seems that it looks everywhere but the directory

/usr/share/fonts/truetype

where TrueType fonts are normally installed.
Trying a quick workaround

sudo ln -s /usr/share/fonts /usr/share/truetype

causes freej to segfault after creating a new text layer and entering 
some text. (maybe freej doesn't know how to handle subdirectories?)
Changing the link to point to one of the subdirectories in 
.../fonts/truetype allows it to create the layer successfully, but some 
fonts (e.g. msttcorefonts) show characters as rectangles. freefont works 
fine.
