[TxMt] Fixing Consolas's line-height

Fo those of you using Consolas...

Microsoft's version of Consolas displays on the Mac and in TextMate
with an incorrect line-height, most clearly exhibited in selected
text, highlighted lines, and spelling error underlines. This makes
writing in Consolas irritating to me.

The version of Consolas that ships with BBEdit has a correct line
height but no italic or bold variations, which also irritates me.

If you extract BBEdit's Consolas from its package contents, install it
and disable Microsoft's "regular" weight, Leopard seems to use the
correct line-height information from BBEdit's version and apply it to
Microsoft's italic and bold weights.

Now Consolas is beautiful.
