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

Educate your children to self-control, to the habit of holding passion and prejudice and evil tendencies subject to an upright and reasoning will, and you have done much to abolish misery from their future and crimes from society.
