Sadly the report is completly wrong; MAP_APPFONT does exactly what it is
supposed to do. The problem you face is that the font width as used in APPFONT
units could only be correct for monospaced fonts (like Courier), for
proportional fonts there cannot be an exact scaling factor since it varies from
character to character. So the implementation calculating the APPFONT x unit
takes a test string ("aemnnxEM") and divides its length by 8 to get an
approximate "width" of the font.
We could of course make the test string wider (e.g. include "W"), we could weigh
DialogScaleX larger, but these not-quite-solutions would just widen each and
every dialog - most of which are ugly because of they contain too much space
already.
Until - if ever - we get a UI with actual layouting capabilities there is no
other possibility than
1. design a UI element so all languages will fit
2. ensure that strings do not get too large.
