Use Consolas font by default in TortoiseMerge, TortoiseUDiff and TortoiseBlame

[Ivan Zhakov]

Hi,

I would like to change the default font used in TortoiseMerge,
TortoiseUDiff and TortoiseBlame to Consolas 10pt, instead of Courier
New 10pt. Consolas is the default font in the most programmers editors
and IDEs on Windows [1] including Visual Studio. Please see the
attached screenshots of all TortoiseSVN applications with Courier New
and Consolas fonts.

According to Wikipedia Consolas font is included with Windows since
Windows XP [2]

I'm all for it. We don't support XP anymore, and it is included since
Vista so there's no problem.
(it's not included in XP automatically but has to be downloaded
separately or gets installed with various other MS products).

please commit your patch.

Stefan

What about also changing LogFont?

I also wanted suggested to change it, but didn't decide what font size to use: 9pt or 10pt (currently TortoiseSVN uses Courier New 8pt). I'm going to prepare screenshots with different fonts and post it here later.
