I am posting this in the general newsgroup because I'm sure it's
been asked before, and the answer is readily available.

What I would like to do is to change the fonts used to write
into the title bar of a screen.  I thought I could do this
by changing the TextAttr structure to use a font other than
topaz.  It seems that I get topaz in the screen title regardless
of what fonts I set in TextAttr before calling OpenScreen.
Are the new fonts only available for text that is written into a
window on the new screen but unavailable to the screen itself?
Is there a reason why wanting to use a different font in the
screen a really dumb idea?

On a related note, is it possible to put text directly on a screen
without first opening a window?

Thanks in advance for any help
