[quake3] Freetype

[Jorge Peña]

Okay cool, thanks. Yeah, I set everything up (The library, environment,
since I'm on windows at the moment, etc. etc.), and defined BUILD_FREETYPE
and it seems to work. I was just wondering if anyone knew whether this
allowed me to simply drop in ttf files into the fonts directory, but it's
okay I'll try to figure that out, thanks Thilo!
