[UI] Diff tools.

[Gary Chambers]

+1 against ugly fonts!

We use FreeType because of licensing around the fonts our clients want to
use. Up to them to supply the fonts (so needs to be dynamic based upon the
"user"'s pc/device).

It is good we have choices in font approaches. Could do with a thorough
refactoring now though (on an inclusive basis).

Regards,
Gary.
