[Zope] How to load PIL fonts

[Phil Harris]

At last, someone else to hassle the powers that be (PythonWare).

I've tried this so many times, and *never* got the fonts to load.  It works
fine on *nix, but doesn't work at all on Win32 afaics.

If you do have any luck, please let me know what you did.
