Font path

[llgcode]

Specify the font to use specifying a path or a font object

I just had a problem related to this, that draw2d couldn't find the fonts. I resolved it with this bit of code:

import (
    "go/build"
    "path/filepath"
)

func setupDraw2D() {
    p, err := build.Default.Import("github.com/llgcode/draw2d", "", build.FindOnly)
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatalf("Couldn't find llgcode/draw2d files: %v", err)
    }

    draw2d.SetFontFolder(filepath.Join(p.Dir, "resource", "font"))
}

Perhaps the draw2d could do this itself, to ensure it has the correct path to the fonts directory?

ah, but the default of "./resources/font/" does not work for anyone who path is outside of your directory. This code makes the path somewhat agnostic, but is still a bit of a hack.

Would you accept a pull request that specifies a new type to handle font naming?

type FontNamerFunc func(fontData FontData) string

This would let anyone change how fonts are found.

Yes, It's a great idea. Thanks
