i've patched the game to fontconfig on pabs' suggestion. it now falls
back from bitstream vera to dejavu, and depends on either of the
packages.

good idea, patched and submitted.

that's far beyond the game's high score, and cocytus may be visually and
balancing-wise unfinished, but it's not like it makes the game crash.
(it's inaccessible even without orbs of teleport).

i think it's ok for an in-game help (which the text in classes.cpp is;
it gets displayed when pressing F1 on the orb item) in a role playing
game to lie, even more to omit particular uses. (i presume its primary
use is to serve as breadcrumbs to mark the way back to an orb of yendor
from its key).
