[luau] Font Suggestions

[Jeff Mings]

I think you might find ttmkfdir useful.  It's like mkfontdir for 
truetype fonts.  I have used an older version, and I don't know how well 
it's being maintained.  It's now available at 
http://freshmeat.net/redir/ttmkfdir/10789/url_tgz/ttmkfdir.tar.gz .
Hope this helps,
