Changes

• Fix glyph rendering in proportional fonts (GUI mode on Windows).

  vtm -c "<config/gui/fonts font* font='Times New Roman'/>"

  vtm -c "<config/gui/fonts font* font='Arial'/>"

Now, for fun and experimentation, using VT2D, it is possible to achieve the following result (displaying not only individual characters, but also phrases in a proportional font):

• settings.xml:

  <config>
      <gui>
          <fonts font* font="Times New Roman"/>
          <antialiasing=on/>
