	According to the OPENLOOK spec, all fonts in a panel should be
	the same font (I don't agree, but that's another story).  So
	since PANEL_MESSAGE's are Panel Items, you change the font
	by setting the font on the *panel*, not on the panel message.
	Unfortunately, everything else in that panel also changes.
	So if you want separate fonts for different panel items,
	you are forced to use separate panels.
