Bug Description

Description: Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS
Release: 14.04

foobillardplus:
  Installed: 3.43~svn170+dfsg-1
  Candidate: 3.43~svn170+dfsg-1
  Version table:
 *** 3.43~svn170+dfsg-1 0
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/universe amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Expected: Game starts
What happened instead: Crashes with error "Another error code means that the font file could not e opened or read, or simply that it is broken"

After some investigation, I found that the DejavVuSans.ttf and DejavuSans-Bold.ttf fonts in usr/share/games/foobillardplus/data are symlinked to the wrong folder, removing and relinking them allows the game to start.

The game flickers and outputs to console:
Tessellation Error: gluTessBeginContour() must precede a gluTessEndContour()
Tessellation Error: gluTessEndContour() must follow a gluTessBeginContour()

The output about Tessellation Error can be ignored. This does not impair the game.
