Well, I don't have time right now to rewrite the converter; not for a

to it when I can, and then we can replace the Java converter.

While we wait for that I have here a counter patch for the font engine.

If there are no comments about it in near term this will be committed to
SVN.

To use automatic font conversion (unifont.bdf->ascii.pf2 and
unicode.pf2), install bf-utf-source (ubuntu and probably debian). Font
converter uses Java temporary. So when font compilation is enable font
converter will be compiled and executed. Otherwise Java is not needed in
anyway. Tested with Sun Java 1.6 on x86-64.

bf-utf-source is in Debian:

Package bf-utf-source

* etch (stable) (devel): Source for fonts needed to build Debian installers
      0.05-0.1: all
    * etch-m68k (devel): Source for fonts needed to build Debian installers
      0.05-0.1: all
* lenny (testing) (devel): Source for fonts needed to build Debian installers
      0.05-0.1: all
* sid (unstable) (devel): Source for fonts needed to build Debian installers
      0.05-0.1: all
