I might be able to shed some confusion on the subject ...

Dave is correct, but Peter is probably talking about string gadget
text, which is a real (big) problem.  It isn't even really clear
where they inherit their fonts from.  I got word from a developer
I trust (although this time it was hard) that the font that was
inherited by the string gadget *in a requestor* comes, in part, from
the font found in the RastPort for the Requester's Window's Screen's
MenuBar Layer!!!

So, it sure is broke.  Wonder what would happen if we/you fixed it?
It's damn near time for NewStringGadgets, but the last time I started
thinking seriously about that, I experienced exponential growth of
ideas, until I saw GOD (inside joke) and my brain hurt.  So I quit.
