Is there a font that is common to all hardware platforms? I've noticed that
when I switch from the DECstation to the VAXstation, the DEFAULT_CHAR_SET
that is chosen is different, resulting in the effective lengths of labels,
lists, text, etc. being different, and hence, 'running into each other'.

If I could guarantee that the same font is used, then the layout of the 
dialogs would be the exact same.  Could this be defined in the app-defaults
file, or does it have to be hard-coded?

Thanks in advance.
Motif 1.1, VMS, VAXstation 3100
