That is pretty much the situation when I last looked at cortado.
Not ideal, but it is not getting worse.  What we really need from
cortado is a reliable way to tell when the video finishes playing.

Good.

Its probably worth doing.  Fedora has 0.0.17 so it is probably OK,
although I agree the website is odd.  Let me add that to the growing list
of things I am play testing ATM just to be sure.

Speaking of which, I have played for a fair bit now with the old fonts
re-enabled.  I do not yet have a strong opinion about use of Imperator,
but I am firmly convinced that using Liberation is not an improvement ---
I find it much harder to read than our current default.  Therefore, unless
we get a lot of 0.11.5 users complaining about the new fonts, I think we
should just drop it.

Cheers,
Mike Pope
