Ostrich Riders failed to work on Mint because of the hard-coded path

include
the font with your game. I know Fedora and other distributions don't
like that. I decided to write up an article talking about changing
Ostrich Riders to use fontconfig library. Hopefully it will encourage
other developers to handle fonts in a more distribution friendly way.
