The font system has to be completely reorganized,
the inconveniences are inherited from the TeX-age.
But we first want to stabilize the Qt port.
For the moment, we just manually add some fonts if really needed.
Since the CJK fonts are quite large, it is good to support at least
some of the native fonts indeed.
Now that we are talking fonts, I just tried the new STIX fonts,
but I do not really understand how they work. Someone knows about
the appropriate installation procedure to follow?
