correctly but in the wrong size (see screenshot 2).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install a windows xp theme with a special font
2. start firefox

sorry, the size of the menubar was greater because of the forecarstfox extension.

That's not really a winstripe issue per se, more of an issue with nsITheme in
general.  That's of course a tricky question, since I'm not sure how Windows
handles fonts from non-standard locations.
