Quick question here.

Do you have Arabic windows?  The question would be what these registry values
are on arabic windows.

We cannot make the change for "MS Shell Dlg 2" and the like to Sans if that is
not the way it is done on windows.

Also changing the Tahoma font links and the default values in
nls_update_font_list is going to be hard to justify.

Now if the problem is that our Tahoma does not have enough glyphs, and windows
does, then we can argue to expand the Tahoma font link to cover glyphs that are
present in windows Tahoma and not present in ours.

I have worked an alternative patch. Does this work?
