I'm not the expert around here.  But then again, I know something about what
you do to change fonts, and Andy has better things to do at 1 in the morning.

The problem here is with the programmer, not the way the new fonts are hooked
into Intuition.  The thing is that, the text that shows up in gadgets is
IntuiText.  Which means that it carries along with the normal ASCII 
represenation the color, offset, and FONT ATTRIBUTE to be used for rendering.
If you statically declare your gadgets or their font, that's what you'll get.
If you poll the WORKBENCH screen for the current font in use and scale your
gadget accordingly, everything would work out the way you'd like it.  It 
would be nice to have a standard Intuition call that would do this for you,
but it's a pretty simple function to write in any case.

               No, but I did hug my Wolf Hound
