Hello all you helpful folks out in rn-land!

I'm writing a program that uses the list manager (Surprise! Surprise!) and I'd
like the text in the list to be in a font other than the default/system font.
The list is a user item in a modal dialog, and what I am planning to do is, in 
the list's drawing procedure, set the current port's font to whatever I want it
to be, call LUpdate, and then set it back.

Will this work?

Is there a better (i.e. "standard") way to do this?


Thanks! :-)
