I have tried several times to get a collection of fonts into the FOray 
repository, but have been unable to get it done. There seem to be a lot of free 
fonts out there, but the ones I have found still have licensing restrictions 
that would prevent distribution of them. Another problem is that there are 
quite a few axes WRT fonts, and you could end up needing a fairly large number 
of fonts to cover the various issues, especially if you want to create tests 
that will handle poorly-constructed fonts properly.

One less-than-ideal alternative might be to identify and document some commonly-
used typefaces for which almost everyone will have a license, or perhaps to 
document the URL for downloading free fonts, so that everyone can at least go 
get the same thing from that location.

Another alternative is to appeal to the user base to see if someone would take 
on the project of creating a set of fonts that could be used for testing. Since 
beauty of output is not the main object, hand-drawn stuff would be fine.
