On the RPi image, replace DejaVu Sans by FreeSans #37

Looking at the node-openvg-canvas source code, it seems that only DejaVu Sans is supported. FreeSans looks nicer here and is installed by default on Raspberry Pi. It’s a bit hacky but this should work:

cd /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu
mv DejaVuSans.ttf DejaVuSans.ttf.bak
mv DejaVuSans-Bold.ttf DejaVuSans-Bold.ttf.bak
cp ../freefont/FreeSans.ttf DejaVuSans.ttf
cp ../freefont/FreeSans-Bold.ttf DejaVuSans-Bold.ttf

@Anton04 could you do this for the RPi image that will be used?

Using DejaVu Sans, the colours in the colour key overlap the numbers as noticed by @rebekahlolsen. The font change described above should fix this.

To run updates that fixes this fist login to the rpi and then run:

sudo ~/git/watt-lite-twist-lite/updates/ChangeFonts

The UpdateFonts script replaces the fonts in accordance with Sanders fix but also checks if its previously been run. If it has already been applied it does nothing.
