XPInstall component for Mozilla suite products like Firefox or Thunderbird use
hardcoded "MS Sans Serif" font that shouldn't be used since it's depreciated on
W2K or later since it's bitmap font (looking ugly on LCD) and "Microsoft Sans
Serif" or "Tahoma" should be used.
Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird are using properly "Tahoma" fonts on new systems
and "MS Sans Serif" on old Win9x systems but installer fonts are broken.
Though installer should use the same UI fonts as the XPGUI applications.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Use the firefox / thunderbird setup
Actual Results:
See ugly unaliased MS Sans Serif fonts on LCD screen on parts of the interface.
Expected Results:
See aliased Tahoma font.

Some parts of XPInstall UI use MS Sans Serif (unaliased/bitmap) while other use
Microsoft Sans Serif (aliased).
IMO all UI should use Tahoma on W2k or newer Windows OS.

Isn't this fixed with the new NSIS-based installer?
