festival unknown voices

[Linux for blind general discussion]

I would have used espeak-ng on archlinux but can't find documentation on
how to have that package start at boot.  The speech-dispatcher system
works with espeak-ng in that spd-say will speak but if I can't have
espeak-ng replace espeak and espeakup this won't help since I mostly run
in command line and rarely run in graphical so I use startx to start up
graphical when needed.
