Yes, I think that a fonts component is a good idea. But, we will have a
the same problems that with colors. If a theme want a specific font in one
component it should define fonts for all component that needs one.

Here the problem is that I do not know if FvwmScript work with
multibyte text. A few time a go FvwmScript core dump at once when
compiled with multibyte enabled. Now It does not core dump any more
with unibyte text and I never try FvwmScript with Japanese.
Mike do you try FvwmScript with Japanese? It will be great if
you can translate one local/ file set say FvwmScript-ColorSelector.html
and FvwmScript-ColorSelector.msg so that I can make tests.

Mike, Thanks a lot for helping!
