Make font for players names more legible

Make font for players names more legible:

    * The list of players names and names in the game log needs to be more legible


Specifics:

    * Yellow is currently the hardest color to read, because it's a light color on a white background.
    * Better font already exists in the text used for army numbers. A thin black outline offsets the army numbers from the background
    * The same black outlining could easily be applied to the names in the "Players" list, and all uses of those names in the game log


This will improve the following aspects of the site:

    * Text will be easier to read
    * The same text could be used in a grease monkey script where items other than the players' names are colored.

Actually - HTML doesn't have the ability to apply a stroke to numbers or letters - unlike the Graphical Images used to display the numbers on the map...

You may also notice that the colours of Yellow (in particular) are actually different on the map to the other parts of the screen to attempt to solve this very issue.

Yes, I did notice the different shades of yellow. If this cannot be done in HTML, then that's okay....just seemed like a simple fix from my uneducated perspective ;)
