The server help is designed for the server command-line and expects a
fixed-width font.  I guess the tooltip doesn't have a fixed-width font.

I reported this problem when I wrote this help, with several possible
solutions.  We could require a fixed-width font for tooltips.  Or we
could add a separate help system - either a link to freeciv.org, or a
reference to the client help - with an actual picture.

The fixed-width problem shows up in other setting helptexts too.  But
it's only a minor issue except with 'topology' AFAIK.
