33180 - Temporarily use Geneva font in global.css for Mac

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 31417

While we're waiting for bug 3371 and bug 16729 (for using CSS2 system fonts in 
the UI) to be fixed ...

The Mozilla UI on Mac looks *vastly* better if, in
chrome/global/skin/default/global.css, the font-family property for `window' is 
changed from
  font: 3mm Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;
to
  font: 10px Geneva,sans-serif;

Menus look much better, dialogs look much better, and the UI as a whole looks 
decidedly more Mac-like. There are a few minor side effects -- the Open Windows 
button needs to be widened (or fixed so that its width is dynamic), and some 
lines of text in prefs panels are shown not to wrap properly with the slightly 
wider text. But these could probably be fixed quite quickly.

I strongly suggest this crude hack be implemented as a temporary measure until 
3371 and 16729 are fixed, as it will curb some (not all, but some) of the wrath 
vented by Mac users when they try Netscape beta 1.

I think this is the better bug report, but I'll verify it as duplicate if it's 
Matthew's preference.
