It's actually not significant change at all, except that it only
solves the issue with english speaking users of plucker. I want to
find a more general solution simply because each time you add in a new
font for each language it add's 10k to the prc. Multiply that by the
languages supported and all you get is bloat. On top of that, someone
has to actually sit down and literally *draw* each individiual
character for each larnguage for the larger fixed-width font by hand.

Instead I want to experiment with converting the builtin palm fonts to
'look' monospaced so that the in result is fairly similar, but we're
not piling up the resources unnecessarially. I think that that would
be a better long term solution.

Except right now I need to concentrate on stabilizing the OS5 code,..
Once that is done and out of the way I can definatly study the
fixed width font issue futher.
