[LUNI] messed up fonts config

[Mark Stuart Burge]

Never mind !


Well, it took all of 20 minutes to realize the obvious.
I just had him bring it over to me. I then booted from the live cd, 
copied the /usr/share/fonts contents from the cd into his filesystem and 
hey presto, it worked.

Maybe not elegant in terms of command line usage, but nevertheless it 
worked.
