A bug reported that generated 70 messages describing how important it
was to fix it, and yet no one -- not a single soul -- says anything
when the solution seems to be at hand?  Isn't that strange?

Would people who urged us to fix this please try the
scratch/large-fonts branch, and see if it's good enough to be merged
to master?  I can post the diffs here, if that would make things
easier for someone.

Once again, the Unix-specific portions of the changes are untested,
and need at least to be verified to do a reasonable job with the
offending fonts.

If there are no comments in a few days, I will proceed with the merge.

TIA
