Description: We are fighting font issues across browsers for little benefit.  On Donald's computer it is shockingly bad.

We will use "Lucida Sans Unicode" which is safe across browsers and almost the same anyway.

We use various flavours of DINOT so we might need to adjust to use Lucida Sans for storng etc see [1]

Removed about 100 instances of various font definitions and created only very few ones based on 2 variables (@font and @fontMono) that use Helvetica and Monaco as values, just like bootstrap, github and so many other sites.
