Zatacka recieves SIGSEGV on launch

[Nonny Moose]

When I try to launch Zatacka, I get:

  $ zatacka
  Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Instead of it running successfully.

In gdb I find this:

(gdb) run
Starting program: /usr/games/zatacka

The problem is that zatacka expects font.ttf somewhere. Unfortunately I could not find out where, so my solution was to compile from source and hard code a font path in fx.h, but if you can find out where it expects font.ttf you can just ln -s any font there and it should work.
