[Image-SIG] ImageFont.load_path() searching patch

[Richard Jones]

Hi all,

   Here's a simple patch to ImageFont.load_path() that makes it search the 
directories specified by the ".pth" files in the Python search path. I'm not 
sure if I implemented the searching exactly as the interpreter does it - but it 
works for me. YMMV.
