problem with fonts and demos

[Marcio Augusto Stocco]

I hadn't had these problem, because I've built up the files with ls and
awk. But the following message from Stephen Lime has put me in the right
way, and now I got the demo running.

Thank you very much indeed,
Márcio.

There was a slight change in line symbol file formats from 3.2 to 3.3.
Copy the symbol
files from the 3.3 distribution (in the symbols directory) to the demo
symbols directory
and that should fix it. You may still hit a few other snags but those are
mostly outdated
parameters and you can just delete or comment out those lines.
