The default font for the list item is inherited from the panel, 
so if one font is desired, create the panel with a font:

	f1 = xv_find( frame, FONT,
			FONT_NAME, "screen-bold-18",
			0 );

	panel = xv_create(frame, PANEL, 
			XV_FONT, f1,
			0);

	list_item = xv_create(panel, PANEL_LIST,
			PANEL_CHOOSE_ONE,	FALSE,
			PANEL_LIST_WIDTH,	100,
			PANEL_LABEL_STRING,	"List Item",
			PANEL_LIST_DISPLAY_ROWS, 3,
			PANEL_LIST_STRINGS, 
				"One", "Two", "Three", 0,
			0);


If you desire different fonts for each item in the list:

	f1 = xv_find( frame, FONT,
			FONT_NAME, "screen-bold-12",
			0 );

	f2 = xv_find( frame, FONT,
			FONT_NAME, "lucidasans-italic-10",
			0 );

	f3 = xv_find( frame, FONT,
			FONT_NAME, "courier-14",
			0 );

	list_item = xv_create(panel, PANEL_LIST,
			PANEL_CHOOSE_ONE,	FALSE,
			PANEL_LIST_WIDTH,	100,
			PANEL_LABEL_STRING,	"List Item",
			PANEL_LIST_DISPLAY_ROWS, 3,
			PANEL_LIST_STRINGS, 
				"One", "Two", "Three", 0,
			PANEL_LIST_FONTS, 
				f1, f2, f3, 0,
			0);


The attribute:

	 PANEL_LIST_FONT, index, font,  

is for setting a font on a single list item.

The xview header files are always the "definitive" reference - xview/panel.h  :^)
