Fonts look awful in standalones built in v5.5+ -vs- v4.0

[Roger Eller]

I tried setting the textfont of this stack to the textfont of stack "home".
Still it returned empty when I put the textFont of any field in my stack.

I have users on XP and 7, so I think I will just loop through all the
fields in preOpenStack and set the appropriate textFont.  I'll report back
if it still looks weird.

XP's system font is "Tahoma".

Win7's system font is "Segoe UI".
