Bug 2955. Workaround for lack of atomic operations in GCCE standard libraries (fall back to default use of Mutex)

Copyright statements and the source of the qpf fonts are located in ../../src/3rdparty/fonts

The fonts here are in various formats:

    *.ttf - TrueType fonts, requires QT_FEATURE_TRUETYPE
    *.pfa - PostScript fonts, used as source material for some QPF fonts
    *.qpf - Qt prerendered fonts (QPF format) rendered from above fonts.

QPF is the portable, endian-independent format used by Qt/Embedded 2.x and 3.x.

The prerendered fonts are generated from various sources:

    fixed*        - Fixed font.
    helvetica*    - Helvetica BDF format font distributed with X11
                    - Latin-1 characters (about 250 characters).
    japanese*     - Helvetica BDF format font distributed with X11
                    - ISO 10646-1 encoding.
    micro*        - Micro font (see micro.bdf).
    unifont*      - Unifont (see unifont.bdf)
                    - full unicode range (about 50000 characters).
