+11. Random number generating function
+
+ Prefixes of font names are calculated by using a function which
+ generates pseudo random numbers. In order to obtain a unique
+ prefix on all platforms when current time is common, a special
+ function MT19937, coded by Takuji Nishimura and Makoto Matsumoto,
+ is used. The header of the C program by Takuji Nishimura and
+ Makoto Matsumoto is the following:
+
+ A C-program for MT19937, with initialization improved 2002/1/26.
+ Coded by Takuji Nishimura and Makoto Matsumoto.
+
+ Before using, initialize the state by using init_genrand(seed)
+ or init_by_array(init_key, key_length).
