Installation struggles - debian, no captcha image with php5

# Fonts directory was misdefined - I did not use any kind of
# symlinking, just copied everything to my virtual server and of
# course missed this definition in render.php - this directory should
# imho be defined in config.php, not every install is identical, and I
# am quite certain this will pop up as a problem in future too.

The server path as computed in src/common.php doesn't need to be
configured, and if users follow the installation instructions it will
work without any extra configuration.  The idea is that all of those
installations of this code *should* be identical.  (Not PHP itself,
but the standalone server.)  If the server is a pain to set up now,
adding one more thing to configure will just make it worse.

At any rate, if you still want to write up a cookbook-style document
on installing the server, that would be great.

# Thanks for your help! Now.. back to implementing authentication to
# various projects I'm working on... ;)

You're welcome; good luck!
