Done.

And done.  (This required adding a "TUXPAINT_DATA_PREFIX" to TPC's
Makefile, so there's a lot of assumptions going on here!  I also have
no clue how this will play with, e.g., the macOS version :-/ )

It all seems to work for me on Linux, which is a start.

And I _believe_ I've got the default locale fonts all rigged up
properly by giving their family names in `fonts.c` (whereas back
in the SDL_ttf days, we'd just try to load "<locale_code>.ttf").

*Whew!*


Mark, Shin-ichi, and Luc, please bang on these things macOS, Windows,
and Haiku!  Thanks.
