    I *think* I have found a bug in XView's TEXTSW package. The problem is
    that getting the font of the TEXTSW returns the incorrect font.  I
    haven't been able to track this down to any XView code (the TEXTSW
    stuff is fairly hairy), but I do have an example you can compile --
    see below.

    I use Guide to create a window with a TEXTSW in it called textpane1.
    Then I do the following:

    	Xv_Font font = (Xv_Font)xv_get( textpane1, XV_FONT );

    This will return the default font for the application, *not* the font
    the textpane1 actually uses, which is a fixedwidth version of this
    default font.  This really screws up you horizontal width calculations
    when you're trying to correctly size the TEXTSW!


try finding the font for the first view in the textsw:

Xv_Font font = (Xv_Font)xv_get( textsw_first(textpane1), XV_FONT );

that should do it, if anything will.
