Font sizes - should be a per module option - not global

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Display two Windows:
e.g.

KJV and FarHezareNoh (the latter is now in the CrossWire Main repo).

The Farsi font is far too small when xulsword has default Normal font (3).

Selecting Largest font (5) makes the KJV display text which is too large, yet 
the Farsi is only just becoming legible.

Furthermore, the fact that font size applies to the UI as well as the Bible 
text display is not a desirable coupling. IMHO, the UI font size should be a 
separate user preference.

cf. In the Xiphos front-end, fonts are a per module option.
This provides greater flexibility for the legible display of different scripts.

In 3.6 the Options->Font size now only effects the text and popups and not the 
rest of the UI.

Module specific font sizes can now be set by right clicking a module tab and 
choosing "about", then click "more", then click "edit", then add something like 
"FontSizeAdjust=0.8" to the .conf file, then click save. Xulsword will need a 
restart to see the new font size.

This new .conf editing feature allows some nice debugging and testing of 
modules too, by the way.

Not entirely happy with installed .conf editing.

Would be preferable to have an ancillary .conf file under user control for the 
module, and leave the installed .conf untouched.

That way would preserve user changes even after a module is updated or just 
re-installed.

I agree- font style/choice is now a high priority issue even though it will 
likely require a UI update (the most difficult kind of update is a UI update- 
getting 14 good translations of even the simplest phrases is daunting).

Conf file editing is more for debugging and experimenting and it probably 
doesn't make sense to take it further with a persistent change feature.
