Use ttf fonts instead of plan9

[i-bsd]

Any reason why cure.font is being used instead of adding a regular font path to a ttf?

Tried changing plan9font to xgraphics.ParseFont in x.go. It compiled fine but crashes when run.

The golang ttf drawer doesn't support bitmap fonts, and cure.ttf is a bitmap ttf font. (golang/freetype#52).

I have tried literally all the various font implementations and the plan9 was the best, besides the fact that you manually have to port every font/character, lol.

Melonbar now uses plan9 fonts, which should be a bit more workable on linux.

So basically, if I want to use different font, I'll need to copy the one I want to runtime/fonts directory and edit fpl variable in x.go? From what you say here and from the fonts extension in runtime/fonts I can assume that I need a bdf format font for it to work properly, but where can I find, for instance, Liberation fonts in bdf format? All of the fonts I have installed are in ttf format.
