With certain XP themes the fonts look pretty ugly in all the mozilla programs if
you don't change them. Best solution is to allow changing of the interface
fonts, as in Firefox, Thunderbird or even NVU.

I don't support doing this. The font is something that should be set by the theme. If the default font doesn't look good, then this should be fixed in the default theme (in toolkit). Please file a toolkit bug if the font still looks bad for a certain OS.
