[Sugar-devel] [DESIGN] Control Panel Font configuration

[Eben Eliason]

Sorry all, I accidentally sent these on a private thread instead of to
the list...

---

Here's a series of mockups for the font size control, showing the
state of the preview at various font sizes. Looking ahead and thinking
that devoting an entire settings module to font size is excessive,
I've called it "appearance" with the assumption that additional
sections may be added to the module in the future.

As the sequence indicates, the font preview updates dynamically as the
slider is dragged, for real-time feedback. Comments are welcome.
