Thanks very much for this patch!

So, this isn't applicable as is, because the localized res.rc files are generated from a template res.rc file and the language .po file (using po2rc from Translate Toolkit [1][2]). See section starting after "rules for translation maintenance" in Makefile.am

However, this seems like it would be straightforward to do via a post-processing step there.

I'll take your word over the aesthetics of the font choice, but I do have a question about what versions of Windows we can assume that font is available on (in theory at least, one might be using a current setup executable to install Cygwin from the CTM on OSs back to Windows XP3)

I wonder if we ought to be using "MS Shell Dlg 2" and/or DS_SHELLFONT, but the documentation about those is incomprehensible.
