Description:
When starting xmode2 I get the error message "could't load font" (sic). That's because "-*-Courier-medium-r-*-*-8-*-*-m-*-iso8859-1" isn't found on my system.
So the font has either to be included as a dependency or it could be changed to e.g. "fixed". (see attached patch)
The typo should be probably fixed upstream. I'm not sure about the font issue.

Additional info:
lirc-utils 1:0.9.0-22

Steps to reproduce:
1. Try to run xmode2, in my case # xmode2 -d /dev/lirc0
2. Get error message "could't load font"
   font.patch (0.6 KiB)
This task depends upon
