Adding a preference menu for changing font size

[Wirdal]

I added options to change the font size for the answer and question boxes. I also cleaned up some of the commenting and spacing in the widgets function.

The sizes I added are 8-20, incremented by 2.

I was going to add options as well to change some of the coloring, as well as save the students email between quizzes, but I would see how this went over.

I have tested it by doing a dry run and it looks OK on my end, but I would appreciate a test yourself.

This is really good. Actually, last year I did reduce the font size, but the TA complained it was too small. Good to give the user a choice. As I may have explained to you before, I am very, very slow to make changes to OMSI, for fear that one little change that seems isolated suddenly messes something else up when the exam comes. In this case, since you just changed the client, it should be OK. My TAs for 132 and 145 are currently making another change. After they do, let's implement yours. Thanks. Norm

That works, I will work a bit more on some preferences, and preference saving.

I've added support for a configuration file to save the users email and font selection through runs of the program.

I added a library, ConfigParser, to help with the .ini file that is also added.

I think a function could be added that updates the config files, but I didn't want to make that many changes, so it is done in-line for now.

Let me know what you think.
