Dear Maintainer,

Zutty has hard-coded some kind of unique and novel system for finding font 
files, but the code appears to be out of date. Most bitmap fonts witched to 
.otb years and years ago, but because the file extensions are inexplicably 
hard-coded into Zutty, you can't use those. For example, install 
fonts-terminus-otb, and try to use it with Zutty. You can't.

Since the switch to .otb fonts, I expect that packages with OTF / TTF support 
(which includes Zutty) would be able to use them.
