On my OSX, the window of the "About Aquamacs Emacs" Menu looks like this:

The About Menu is the "namecard" of a program. It should be beautiful - especially for this beautiful program!

The text content is perfect. But why do all fonts differ? Why do the font grey levels differ?
Why is the pagination wrong? Why are there emtpty lines? It should take only
5 minutes to correct this.  The text could look like this, all in the same font, without any grey,
a few blanks removed, a few added, no italics, but a few words put into bold:



This is Aquamacs Emacs, based on GNU Emacs,
one component of the GNU operating system.

By the way, when I move the cursor on the logo, a white line appears across it. Can this line be reomved?
