  That's very interesting. My copy of ResEdit 1.2 uses Monaco 12 for those
editing windows with defined TMPLs. If this was my default application font,
I could understand (partially), but there seems to be no apparent reason
for the choice of font. This is on a Mac+, BTW. A friend of mine uses the
same version on an SE, and his editing windows are in Geneva 12.

  Maybe this undocumented feature will go away in 1.2.1?
