[Oberon] Global font change on OLR

[Srinivas Nayak]

Aubrey,

This is my first time source code change and compile!
Truly awesome experience.
Compilation is too fast. I couldn't believe at first.
When I rebooted Oberon and saw the changes, my mouth opened.
I thought, "so fast?".


With thanks and best regards,

Yours sincerely,
Srinivas Nayak
