As of 1.9.0, changing "helvetica-bold" to "helvetica" in e.g.
Instruments/altimeter.xml causes the cockpit/panel loader to segfault.

a) It would be nice if helvetica were supported.

b) Failing that, if helvetica is called for it would be nice to print a
warning and substitute some similar font.

Would be good to know if this is still reproducible with CVS/2.0.0. It should be trivial to fix the crash, as for
whether or not 'helvetica' can be supported, depends on what's available in data. I note there is a 'Helvetica.txf'
but 'helvetica_bold.txf', so likely the name-matching algorithm needs to be changed.

And also to CVS HEAD.

Font-name lookups are now case-insensitive, and I guard against missing fonts to avoid crashing - instead a
warning is logged when the panel is loaded.

Status: Fixed
