Hi Frank.  You should download the appropriate font from here:

  http://www.tuxpaint.org/download/fonts/

Additionally, I've just updated it so that (in the next version), the only
locale-specific font that is presented in the Text tool is the one meant
for the locale Tux Paint is running in.  (For a long time, we've been showing
the Tibetan font in the Text tool's font selector, but it contains ONLY
Tibetan characters, no Latin 'A-Z' :) )

(Note that it will be possible to disable this new feature.)


Additionally, Tux Paint tries a few tricks to remove any fonts which are
not compatible with the current locale.  However, it's up to the volunteers
who translate Tux Paint to provide some clues.  I'll nudge them to make sure
they understand what's needed, and hopefully things will be a bit cleaner
in the next release. :)

Thanks and enjoy!
