This is probably not the best idea because some people may not be able
to setup their machine to do anonymous ftp even if they can run a
crossfire server on it. Moreover, automatic ftp isn't really easy.
Why not just have another program do the transfer? This is what I did
in the original crossfire server implementation. I downloaded the
font every time you started playing to make sure that people had a
current font.
