since it wasn't working, I reverted my changes, I have the files backed up , but
need to reapply them to dslinux so I can build a patch.

what size fonts do we want to use again? I have a 5x7 fixed width font, need a
small variable-width font still preferable in .bdf format as microwin provides
a conversion tool to include them with microwin. Then I can replace the
defaults system fonts. Afterwards we can look into the use of runtime .fnt
files.

Current its using a 11x13 variable-width font for default system var font and
for the Helvetica font, and its using a 6x13 fixed width font for the default
system fixed font and Terminal font.
