Local fix

Problem summary

• font face id in font id is limitted to BYTE, that is 255 at
   most,   but on Mac, the font face id often exceed the
   limitation, but other BYTEs on font id are used to store other
   font information, like size, type, color, etc.
  so the fixs
   will record the default mail font face name when add/update
   default mail font as well as client startup,  then, translate
   the default mail font face name to face id and set as the text
   font id here.
