[Pkg-fonts-devel] Bug#599059: Bug#599059: Bug#599059: Bug#599059: Bug#599059: Bug#599059: merging Tuffy font fork

[Thatcher Ulrich]

I updated Tuffy to version 1.28.  Archives at http://tulrich.com/fonts/

I think I addressed everything noted by brtkr but let me know what I missed.

Sorry this took so long; I've been very busy with work etc.
