Based on tests and user experience I've changed the handling of the 
incompatibility problem of the Tk library with the font service:

1. Now the detection, whether a font is displayable or not, should be safe, 
because the new version is measuring specific characters. The prior handling of 
testing the 'size' attribute of the font wasn't reliable.

2. If the symbol font (for "+-", "++--", ...) is not displayable, only a 
message on stdout will be printed.

3. If the figurine font (for piece symbols in game editor) is not displayable, 
then an error message will popup, and Scidb will use piece letters instead of 
figurines.

4. If the text font is not displayable, then an error message will popup, and 
additionally a message on stdout will be printed, but Scidb will not exit.

This handling is committed with r1169.
