Public bug reported:

Applies to 2.1 and current 3.0 previews.

When the mapper is used as a dock-able widget it inherits the font it
uses from the Mudlet application when it is docked but because it
becomes a free floating window when undocked it then takes on the
defaults that have been set for the Qt system.  If these two are not the
same then there will be an obvious change when the widget is
docked/undocked - this is particularly noticeable if one font is a Serif
type and the other a San-Serif one.  The fix that the attached patch
does is to actually set the default font for the widget in the
constructor which, as it is now explicitly set, overrides the changes
that would otherwise be inherited from the parent which changes between
the docking states.

I reckon that this cosmetic bug does not rate a setting higher than
medium but another bug reviewer is free to revise that assessment when
they confirm this.
