Thanks Jason, happy to do it.

I'd be interested if anyone else feels that the Font property is a bit
of overkill. Geoff W mentioned some technical reasons why this may not
end up being overkill memory-wise, but it may still seem bulky.

As mentioned previously it could probably be scaled down to a few
properties:
FontColour
FontName
FontSize
and "maybe" FontStyle?

I don't mind making the mods if people feel it would be more
appropriate, but I guess a descision has to be made :) ?
