Setting a Standard for Fonts used in Apps

[Daniel Reimer]

After I made some german translation updates and new translations, I 
spotted a small problem. I dont know if you see a problem here, but 
thats why I post it here. While looking through the .rc Files I found 
out that most apps use one font (Most use MS Shell Dlg which I think is 
the best one) but not all. Some use Tahoma, others use MS Sans Serif and 
one even uses Bitstream Verdana. I think this way it does not look like 
a professional work. It more looks like a thrown together bunch of work, 
which does not fit together. Especially if a app uses different fonts in 
some parts than in others. Thats why I made some patches to set the Font 
to MS Shell Dlg Size 8 except for Asian Languages (Like XP uses it and 
we should do, too for compatibility) and talked to frik85 about it. He 
said I should ask you all and that's what I do here. How do you think 
about it?

Sounds good.
Have you tested your changes and checked, that you didn't mess up anything?
Maybe you could send us your patch or some screenshots for comparison, 
this would enable us to tell you, if your patch is usefull (which I 
think it most likely is) or not.

Here are my patches uploaded. frik85 meant I should not make one big 
patch, so I made five smaller ones.

They not just include Font changes. They include some translation 
updates, too. If you want I can seperate this for you, but most are the 
font updates anyway.
