Hello netpeople,

I noticed this problem when first trying the setfont program.
The point is, that noone notices if the screen font changes.
So Preferences tells workbench that it has a 60/80-character screen
and workbench installs the default font name "topaz".
For the font is only refered to in the Screen, but used in some
RastPorts (TextAttr against TextFont), Workbench closes sometimes
our font (that was installed via setfont). Sometimes our font
is closed too often. The results are mysterious and the guru is near.
Now, I just change the windows font, and there are no problems.
