Repro code

Repro attached, it displays the font dialog six times and is hows various
inconsistencies between the font expected to be displayed, and also
inconsistencies between the font that was display in the dialog and the font
returned by the dialog.  For the first three cases, the size and style
attributes of the font are ignored when displaying the dialog (want size 12 see
8; styles ignored).  In the latter three cases the size and style listboxes are
initialised but the strikeout/underline checkboxes are not.

In most cases the font returned by the dialog is different from the font that
was displayed in the dialog.


This actually has two root causes:
1) FontDialog ignores (aspects of) the font passed in
2) FontDialog returns different Font style/size than displayed

For 2).  The font object that the dialog will return is only updated when a UI
event occurs, this means any bug with setting the control states will cause an
inconsistency.  I'd like the dialog simply to read the controls on the user
hitting <OK> or <Apply>, and thus it will always return a font that matches
what the user saw.  Or we should do validation in form_Closing and
OnApplyButton, and display a message saying "Internal error: inconsistent
values, please use Cancel to close the dialog"(!!).

For 1).  The inconsistency in displaying the dialog is caused by a bug in how
the controls are initialised from the font the called passed in (to set_Font). 
Again the setting is all done through UI events.  Two bugs exists for it.

The size and style controls _only_ get updated when the font 'name'/family
listbox selected-item changes.  As the first three repro cases show, this only
occurs when the font family is _not_ GenericSansSerif.

The second is that the Strikeout and Underline checkboxes are never
initialised.  They should be initialised at the same time as the
Regular/Bold/Italic listbox.  This is shown by the latter three cases.
