Ah.  Discouraging.  I guess the translations will need to be redone if
we switch to ttf-tmuni.  Also, it appears that Tibetan is not a
supported locale in Debian, so the setlocale() fails when I try to use
this language anyway.  Do you know any way around that problem?

I'll just include this font in tuxpaint-data, then, for now, as it isn't
useful to any package other than Tuxpaint.

I hope I can figure out a solution for the locale problem before etch
releases.
