Missing symlink in fonts causes mytharchive to crash

[max]

Version : 0.26.0+fixes.20130221.c3fff6e-0ubuntu0mythbuntu1
Reproduction :
1. Choose MythArchive from myth-frontend
2. Record something to DVD
3. Crashes after encoding.

Bug:
Missing font called by mythburn.pl due to missing symlink in /usr/share/mythtv/fonts

- I added more debug info to mythburn.py:getFont() and found out it's looking for /usr/share/mythtv/fonts/FreeSansBold.ttf and not finding it.

Fix:
Add symlink :
    cd /usr/share/mythtv/fonts
    ln -s ../../fonts/truetype/freefont/* .

- Related Required bug : http://www.mythtv.org/pipermail/mythtv-users/2012-October/341897.html

Symptom: This is the tail of mythburn.log:

Are you sure that's the correct fix for the font problem? Those symlinks actually already exist in mythtv-common.

Oh actually I see now, its' the bold font that's missing.

Added to master and fixes. Should be in tomorrow's build.

Thanks Mario. Should I file bugs for the other two bugs in the same
flow that were mentioned? I was able to burn the DVD after the three fixes.

Yeah file bugs for each other issue.
