Change fonts size for SquirrelSql and other Java Swing Apps for hidpi monitors

Boils down to adding a couple of Java switches to the start script:
-Dswing.plaf.metal.controlFont=Tahoma-18 -Dswing.plaf.metal.userFont=Tahoma-18

For example, in squirrel-sql.sh, modify this line to include the above:
$JAVACMD -Xmx256m -Dswing.plaf.metal.controlFont=Tahoma-24 -Dswing.plaf.metal.userFont=Tahoma-24 -cp "$TMP_CP" $MACOSX_SQUIRREL_PROPS -splash:icons/splash.jpg net.sourceforge.squirrel_sql.client.Main --log-config-file "$UNIX_STYLE_HOME"/log4j.properties --squirrel-home "$UNIX_STYLE_HOME" $NATIVE_LAF_PROP $SCRIPT_ARGS

Spreadsheet: a kind of program that lets you sit at your desk and ask all kinds of neat "what if?" questions and generate thousands of numbers instead of actually working.
