I am posting this 'cause it's the n'th time I have answered this question
(after asking it myself in a similar forum ... :-))

PANEL_LIST_FONT works on individual list entries, not on the whole list. You
must set it for each list item. I suspect this is a bug.

Try this everywhere you create a list entry,

given:
     font = (Xv_Font)xv_find(frame, FONT,
                 FONT_FAMILY, FONT_FAMILY_DEFAULT_FIXEDWIDTH,
 		NULL);
 		
each entry creation becomes:     
     xv_set(plist, PANEL_LIST_INSERT, row,
                PANEL_LIST_FONT, row, font,
                XV_NULL);
                
This is a pain, but it does work.

Hope this helps,
Harry
