I've added the path to the User's fonts directory to CVS, via a Cocoa  
API call.

Most fonts are being ignored, but a few are loading fine (primarly .ttf  
fonts).  Here is a sampling of the errors I get from the other fonts:

As well, the following line in tuxpaint.c is producing a compile error:

const char *restrict const suffixes[] = {"ttf", "otf", "pfa", "pfb",  
"dfont", "ttc",};

/Users/mfuhrer/Projects/TuxPaint/tuxpaint-cvs/tuxpaint/src/tuxpaint.c:  
In function `loadfonts':
/Users/mfuhrer/Projects/TuxPaint/tuxpaint-cvs/tuxpaint/src/tuxpaint.c: 
14226: error: invalid use of `restrict'
/Users/mfuhrer/Projects/TuxPaint/tuxpaint-cvs/tuxpaint/src/tuxpaint.c: 
14226: error: invalid use of `restrict'

I can get around it by removing "restrict".
