- You have a strong point here, and all we can hope for, is that ToolMaker
- comes up with a solid scheme to be font sensitive. Until then, you can still
- make nice looking GUI's with hardcoded fonts.

- Rubbish :-) "He who owns an A2024 AND uses a system default font of courier 18,
- gets a pain in the neck over non-font-sensitive applications."
