[Bug-XBoard] [bug #7242] Fonts dialog should not permit setting attributes on ICS Interaction font

[Eric Mullins]

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #7242 (project xboard):

I looked at this when I was dealing with fonts recently.  It seems there's no
simple way to exclude the "Font Style" portion of the dialog.  We'd have to
create a new dialog template based on the internal one, and change those items
to hidden and disabled.

Perhaps the template could give a small help note in that position indicating
how to change those attributes.  (By going to the ICS... item, and selecting
attributes for "Normal Text".

The other problem is getting specific behavior for the ICS font.  Currently,
all the different fonts go through the same routine and get pretty much
identical behavior from the choosefont dialog.  To get different behavior for
the console font, we have to indicate to the routine this difference.  It's
not difficult, but it's kludgy.  (I looked at this not because I wanted a
different template, but because I wanted to have only fixed pitch fonts in
that dialog.  Same issue.)
