The standard altimeter (used by the default c172p aircraft and many others)
had been using an unhappy hodgepodge of layers. The analog Kollsman window
was unusable, because it was unlabeled, and the digital altimeter setting
was unusable, especially at altitudes near 2500 feet, partly from being
behind the needle. On a real altimeter, things are positioned so that
cannot happen.

Fixing this requires using a more suitable font, moving the digits over,
and getting rid of conflicting extraneous markings.
