[Bf-committers] 2.5 UI font

[Thomas Dinges]

Hi,
i completely agree with Martin here.
I see some problems with the code too, we have a single column layout 
code in nearly all properties window files now (so you have only 1 
column when the properties window has a small size). There would be 
additionally code needed to have a nice horizontal layout, where I see 
another problem, who maintains that well? And I would prefer not to have 
lots of "if layout is horizontal, small or vertical" blah in the code 
honestly. 2.5 was designed for vertical buttons window in the first 
place, everything else is up to the user, who can modifiy the layout 
files as he wish.

Thomas
