        The Java Console window could be better on Mac OS X. Specifically:

        - On the Mac, Lucida Grande is not a good font for reading lots of diagnostic output. It should be smaller, or, preferably a monospaced font.

        - Use a smaller title bar for the console.

        - The JScrollPane used puts a one-pixel border around the scroller, so the scroll view ends up being inset by a pixel all around the window. Scroll views that extend completely to the edges should not have any insets.

        I was planning to check in these changes when I added the tray icon, but it was decided that these were UI issues and belonged in their own bug.
