Re: Intent to retire nethack-vultures (Vulture's Eye and Vulture's Claw)

The reason for the crashing on startup is that it is not loading the
font.

/usr/games/vultureseye/fonts/VeraSe.ttf -> /usr/share/fonts/bitstream-
vera/VeraSe.ttf

/usr/share/fonts/bitstream-vera/VeraSe.ttf does not exist.

/usr/share/fonts/bitstream-vera-serif-fonts/VeraSe.ttf

Updating the link allows it to start. I'm against losing games. So I'd
rather keep the current version at the moment. When I get a chance I'll
look into new versions of the program.
