Build: 2001051504, Mac OS 9.1

To reproduce:
*   Look at the text in various places in the Mozilla Installer.

What you should see:
*   Mostly {system font} 12px, and {list font} 10px.

What you actually see:
*   Mostly {system font} 12px, and {list font} 9px.

9px text is unnecessarily difficult to read, and it is not very i18n-safe.

The 9px-->10px change may require changing this
|
| in folder
| “Documents”
| on disk
| “Macintosh HD”
|
to this
|
| in folder “Documents”
| on disk “Macintosh HD”
|,
in order to fit in the group box, but that arrangement should probably be 
changed anyway to make the text more readable.

Quoth Steve Dagley: "The Mac installer code was never Carbonized and there is no
intention to ever change that."
