[sldev] 1.21.2 Artwork pack is missing fonts?

[Thordain Curtis]

I just decided to start using git to merge in new source releases to my
(admittedly minor) custom branch, thanks to Jacek Antonelli's excellent git
repository.  Have to say, the cmake build process is really smooth (first
time I've built a viewer with cmake) and I'm more than impressed with how
much easier it has become to build the client.  In any event, I couldn't
quite figure out why my newly compiled viewer refused to start.  At the time
I was compiling in Release mode, so I never got the interesting message
about "Missing Glyph Info", the viewer instead sat in crashAndLoop() forever
(wonderful function by the way ;-).

It took me a few seconds to put two and two together and realise that the
entire "fonts" directory is missing from the 1.21.2 artwork archive.

I'm sure this might prove frustrating for new client builders, and thought
I'd give a heads up in case somebody doesn't already know about this.
