Hi folks,

	I have been fiddling with the example program in the RKM's for
opening the console device using a custom screen.

	Everything is fine if that window uses the default font. But if I
have some other font, e.g. ruby 15, things get confused.

	For example, if I write out a string of characters, the cursor finishes
up a long way past the end of the string - not in good shape for inserting
more characters, editting the string etc.

	There are other problems too which seem to be related to miscalculating
the width of characters.

	Is there anything special that needs to be done to have this work 
properly? I am talking 1.3 here, not 2.0.

	Thanks for any advice.	phi
