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

[Tiemo Hollmann TB]

Hi Roger,

when switching from LC 4 to 5.x I experienced also some weirdness with font
settings on windows. In my case it wasn't the difference between IDE and
standalone, but some field suddenly had funny font settings explicitly set
when opening the stacks with 5.x, where the same fields just had inherited
it from the stack in version 4. In version 5.x runrev has changed the
behavior of the font options. I just don't remember what exactly, but in my
case the only solution was to open manually all wrong fields and delete the
wrong font settings so that they again could inherit it from the stack. My
experience seems to be a bit different, but perhaps the origin is the same.
