The attached patches:

0002) patch our font-alias package so that the xserver will honor its
alias definitions.
0003) Add font-alias directories to the default FontPath in our
xorg-server service.
0004) Amends the previous patch to remove the change to evilwm's default
font.

Upon closer reading of the README, I've updated the license field to
'(x11-style "file:///README")'.  Of course, second opinions welcome,
especially since http://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Evilwm claims both
"Other" and "GPLv2orlater" licenses, and
http://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Aewm which evilwm is based on claims the
"Expat" license.
