[sldev] Also first time build...getting "Missing Glyph Info"

[R. Douglas Barbieri]

Robin, thank you so much! That works perfectly,

I tried your patch first, and that satisfied the font issue. I then
grabbed the latest tarball with the linux libs and reverted the
settings.xml file back and that worked as well. Thanks once again!
