Hi Thomas,

Fixed that. configure takes care now.

Also added 'ungif' to libraries. Someone might fix setup.py.in to add the
libraries only if they are enabled in src/ming_config.h

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
please use SWFBrowserFont("_sans") for non-filebased fonts. You need to
update to CVS HEAD first!

in contrast
SWFFont() takes a filename of ttf/fdb fontfiles.

Btw: together with Ming_setScale(1.0) your font is 16/20 pixel big...
Default scale is 20.0 which means 20 TWIPS correspond to 1 px.

Thanks for your help improving ming!
