What if you wanted "self contained reports" eg like the demos in 
fpReport where we use fonts that are not available on all systems. eg: 
Windows doesn't come standard with DejaVu. Other Linux distros and 
FreeBSD doesn't come standard with the Ubuntu font.

Yes, FreeBSD uses that too, but again, it is located in the 
user-installed apps location... /usr/local/etc/fonts/

Looking at that file here (again, not sure how Linux distro compare or 
differ), but there are <dir>.... </dir> tags in the beginning of the 
fonts.conf file. Simply adding those to fpTTF's search path should 
already go a long way. That should be pretty easy to add.

<!-- Font directory list -->

	<dir>/usr/local/share/fonts</dir>
	<dir>/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts</dir>
	<dir prefix="xdg">fonts</dir>
	<!-- the following element will be removed in the future -->
	<dir>~/.fonts</dir>
