 {{{

 display/d.font/main.c
 }}}

 This only tests for existence and type. Ideally, we should have e.g.
 G_file_exists(), G_file_is_file() and G_file_is_directory() and use those
 (the last two need a flag to indicate whether to use stat() or lstat()).
 That would probably eliminate many of the stat() calls. Also,
 G_file_size(). It's better to keep as much of this in the library as
 possible.

 {{{

 It should check that WIND is a file, rather than checking that it isn't a
 directory.
