[Localization] Some letters in Turkish translation

[Yoshiki Ohshima]

  The font information in there was a bad idea (a hussled hack on my
end) but in any case, The next release of Etoys (which due in a week
or such) will not support extended character set for non-Linux
platforms.  So it was the issue with the Etoys side, and not the
translation side.

  To workaround the problem, Nevit provided a po file with modified
translations.  We include it for now.

  For Turkish, we could include fonts like DejaVu in the future
release, but we need to weigh the trade-offs.

Btw. changing these values in .po file and compiled .mo file did not changed the appearance of fonts in eToys globally. Also I am in doubt that eToys sees windows' pre-installed fonts. It seems that fonts are predefined internally.
