- OK, I have an edit text item that I need to display in 9 pt
- Geneva instead of 12 point Chicago. I have an 'ictb' resource
- that has all the proper information, but it only partially works.
- The text is indeed drawn in Geneva9, but the spacing between the
- lines seems more appropriate to Chicago12 than Geneva9. Also, the
- blinking cursor appears way out to the side of where it should be,
- as if the width of the string were being computed with the 12 point
- font agin, instead of the nine point font. There is a nonblinking
- cursor that is at the proper position, but the blinking cursor is
- blinking at a different place than the actual insertion point,
- which is very confusing. If anyone has any ideas as to what I am
- doing wrong, I would appreciate hearing about them.
