make "Courier New Bold.ttf" the default font (font field left blank) for w3d

[shadoof]

@wphicks Will: I think this may be my confusion. Let's talk tomorrow if at all possible for you ...

@wphicks Let's keep working on this. I used update.sh late Monday (I did not do a reinstall) and I get the error below (when trying to run a file in the shared Google Drive samples folder). I can copy the ttf into the folder but 1) I shouldn't have to do this and 2) the name is ambiguous (if this file is actually the bold version of Courier New that we should be using, and 3) the software is not grabbing the font as actually pre-installed in my system (perhaps you want to be copying this font the root directory of any xml file that has blank font fields?)

@shadoof Yeah, my apologies; I don't think I was clear yesterday. I've got the patch available but haven't actually pushed it yet. I'm available all day today, so ping me at your convenience. Until then, I'm going to work on improving the update scripts to make it easier to grab bleeding-edge and non-release versions for testing.

@wphicks Thanks Will, no real worries. There is a lot going on for me just now but I hope to be in chat with you this afternoon. Priority for me is to make sure all the students have a working version of the new local renderer. It's a good group and I am hopeful that they will be able work with us to launch w3d properly.

[wphicks]

No problem. I can work on plenty of other things in the meantime. For students having trouble installing or running w3d, please don't hesitate to have them email me.

@shadoof If you like the changes from v0.2.4, please feel free to go ahead and close this.

Happy with this ...
