SceneComposer Usability Improvements

Zoom Display Preview 
 In some particular situations, the user could need an option to switch back to 100% of a display if its size has been modified. Consequently, the possibility to zoom in Display Preview through options in the context menu of the view has been added (Mantis 5093).

 Bitmap Fonts Support 
 Bitmap fonts are now supported by SceneComposer. In order to use bitmap fonts, the SCHost.dll must be compiled using BitmapFont font engine. Only one font engine can be active at a time in an SCHost.dll. 
 The user can import 2 types of files as bitmap fonts: 
 
 
 
 
 .fnt (windows font files) - are converted to bitmap fonts 
 .fbm - already converted bitmap font files

 Font Handling 
 When a font is imported, 2 new properties will be set: 
 
 
 
 
 Font engine: specifies the font engine that this font is compatible with (Freetype, BitmapFont or Other) 
 Source file names: specifies the name of the file which was imported - helps the user identify a font

 SCHost Build Info 
 In order to help the user identify which font engine is active in SceneComposer, a new Platform menu entry was added: "SCHost info". It displays the configuration that was used to build SCHost, including the font engine.

 Clone Item Multiple Times 
 Now it is possible to specify the number of clones to be generated, simultaneously, for an item. If this number is greater than 1, the name will be read-only and generated automatically (Mantis 4091).
