Enhancing the font tests

Hi,

in order to enhance the font tests do you think it's possible to include the Ubuntu Font Family for testing purposes?

There was a long discussion about this specific topic on legal-discuss [1] and
now we have an answer.

The Ubuntu License 1.0 has a weak-copyleft so that it fits into "Category B"
[2]. Which means, we must not put those fonts into our repo and of course
must not ship those fonts as part of our source ball.

We have to handle those fonts outside (download during build process, manually
download + optional test) if we want to include them into our tests.

fine - I'll add some tests after the CMS task.

Would you check with legal?

Sounds OK to me, but let's contact legal to get confirmation.

How about starting with the DejaVU fonts coming with GNOME [1] ?? Their
