I don't think it makes sense necessarily for this project to move to
pango/cairo or such, as it does no rendering itself, just outputting PDF, PS,
or HTML. As such it just uses the .pfa files internally to output PDF and PS.

Also, the fonts all appear to be renamed urw-fonts in PFA format, or Deja Vu
fonts in PFA format.

I think the thing to do is:

 * Symlink the URW fonts to the system-installed fonts

 * Modify the code to call pfatopfb at the right time when embedding

 * Not ship the Deja Vu fonts, just map serif, monospace, sans to the 
   URW versions

 * File bugs upstream


Upstream makes few releases and generally moves slowly, so I'm not sure how
fast it will go upstream.
