I had CONFIG_EMBEDDED selected, but not CONFIG_FILE_LOCKING. Enabling
CONFIG_FILE_LOCKING solved the locking problem and now the fonts are

Next problem: touching the screen now gives me an "Illegal

diligence now on that one.
Thanks Charlie, now I can let my forehead recover from the beating the
wall gave it yesterday.
