The dialog font is not honoured by the compare preference page. Preference 
pages have the dialog font set as the font of the control sent to 
createContents - you can just copy the font from the parent to the children 
you create.

public static applyDialogFont(Control control) has been added to Dialog. This 
can be called to apply the dialog font to the tree of a control whose font is 
the default font.

I could not hook this up by default because it causes some layout problems on 
many of the pages and dialogs we have if it is called after widget creation as 
sizing is frequently done in the creation code. We do not wish to generate any 
layout problems by the addition of this API.

I have also changed initializeBounds to use the dialog font for the 
calculations and not the font of the passed control. In the dialog provided by 
the workbench this will not do anything but for those dialogs provided by 
other components this will allow them to do the sizing before applying the 
dialog font.
