[oats-sig] RNIB fonts now Open Source

The RNIB's specially designed Tiresias fonts are now on GPL license
(it's GPL 3 so I don't know if that causes a problem for some uses,
plus GPL for font's seems strange as they are not software). They are
in TTF format so are usable on Windows or Linux. So 'Nice one' RNIB.

PCFonts and LPFonts would appear to be the most useful for desktop and
printed documents respectively.

I've attached a sample PDF using LPFonts (large print) created in
OpenOffice.org on Ubuntu.

The download page does not give install instruction fro Linux but it's easy.
For GNOME (e.g. Ubuntu) you can:

* Open 'Places' (nautilus)
* type in file:///
* drag the unzipped .ttf font files

I guess we should put this somewhere on the OATSoft site.
