Indeed :)

Yes works fine now.

One issue I see is when you open appearance - system fonts then in my
image the "window-title font" displays incorrectly. Strangely, I chose
the same font (BitmapDejaVu-12-Bold) as "Etoys title font" and that
shows up fine.

Another issue in that menu is that the currently selected font used to
be highlighted in blue. For the new bitmap fonts this does not happen.
