Add more fonts

The source which I got font styles is here.

• Choose the style you like and create a new font directory in fonts directory.
• Here you might have to do a bit of manual work, copy and paste the alphabet of each word from your favourite styles and put each of them in a separated text file.
• Check the maximum number of lines that font style has.
• Add your font style name in the font_list array in utbanner.c , add the number of lines of that font to font_row_length array.

Voila! You have inserted a new font style.
