124533 - RFE: Change font in "Modern" theme on Mac OS 9

ENHANCEMENT (RFE)
     Change the font in the Modern theme of Mozilla from "Charcoal" to "Geneva"
(or another smaller font).   The Charcoal font is too large and bold and makes
drop-down menus and contextual menus larger than they need to be.

Change font in Mac OS X also...

Propose WONTFIX. All menus in Classic Mac OS use the same font, Charcoal (unless changed in the 
Appearance prefs). At higher screen resolutions, Geneva 9 or 10 (what reporter probably has in mind) 
would be too small. Charcoal 12 is a good choice.

This bug was filed for the buttons and captions in Mozilla on OS 8/9, including
the "Home" and "Bookmarks" buttons, the ToolTips, the "Get Msgs", "Reply",
"Forward" buttons, etc.   Drop-down menus include Bookmarks and the font chooser.
   The menu font is set by the OS.

Also, with font smoothing on OS X, this isn't an issue.   Lucida Grande with
smoothing looks great!

Resolving WONTFIX (comment #3).  If anyone wants this changed, mark it as 'new'...
