> The current default Terra Theme font is "Verdana 11". While this is a
> nice-looking font, it is not available (by default) on platforms other than
> Windows, and it does not support a wide range of the Unicode character set
> (typically not much outside the Latin-1 range). This is a problem for
> applications needing to routinely handle Japanese, Korean, Chinese, etc.
> characters in the GUI.
> The proposal would be to change the default theme font to either "DIALOG 12"
> or maybe "SANS_SERIF 12" in order to take advantage of the increased
> character set coverage in these "logical" fonts.
> Since this is a big visual change, it is not clear if it should go into 2.0.5
> or not.
