Another round of updates:

ScreenSavers v0.20.N:
* Updated fallback whitelist (Err, I'm not even sure if that wasn't already in .19.N...

)

Fonts v4.4.N:
* Updated fallback whitelist
* Updated FT libs
* Fixed rendering bugs with the light ft override (in the Symbols popup, the Note edit popup, and address bars, among other things) which effectively makes this setting usable ^^.
Actually, there's quite a few interesting stuff happening in FreeType right now, there's been a few rendering fixes, and some new stuff, especially in the 'light' build, so there may be some significant improvement in rendering 'quality'

. Also, the 'bci' build will now fallback to autohint if it encounters a *TrueType* font that doesn't contain any hinting bytecode (instead of rendering it unhinted, which most of the time looks crappy & fuzzy as hell).
