[Marketing] Font of OSGeo Logo

[Cameron Shorter]

Proprietary fonts will be an embarrassment for us, and will hinder 
future OSGeo marketing activities.
I suggest that we select an alternative font ASAP, which we can 
recommend to anyone wanting to manipulate the logo, and at some point, 
we migrate to the new font.

Tyler, what would the process be for identifying a new font?

Bad news: it's proprietary and cannot be freely distributed, but if you need it let's talk.  The designers were keen to meet my open standards desirws, but this one slipped by us.
