Thanks!  It is really your nice contribution to the project and, I think,
gives newbies a good starting point (who might be exhausted with the
installation of the new freetype library.  They must be impatient to
see the result. You can imagine how I was disappointed when I got
the message, "No fonts found".)  It made the installation much easier.

Sounds good.  Until such a nice decision is made, however, I wish there
would be a README in the back package that explains how to set up the
art backend.  I'm wondering why README is missing in the package.

KK.
