Warning, plug coming.  If you use the Default CDEF you can set a button to use
the window font by adding a curly f to the end of the button title.  This lets
you actually see what the dialog will look like in ResEdit and edit it there.
You can also change between the window font and the system font on the fly
by changing the button title.  (Disclaimer - I wrote it.)
