No, definitely not. The amount of code required to go through all the font objects in the game and modify them would about double the size of BBS, and still wouldn't fix the problem in all cases -- occasionally Blizz creates font strings that don't inherit from a font object, and addons frequently create font strings that don't inherit from a font object. Plus, while it can be sort-of-fixed in the UI, it's not actually a UI bug; it's a graphics engine bug.

(Anecdotally, while I read this thread days ago, I didn't even notice the bug while doing a bit of addon work over the last few hours. After seeing this thread again, I launched the game again, and the bug is indeed present. If I didn't notice it, chances are the average user wouldn't even notice it if you specifically asked them to look for it. )
