I am having a problem with a string gadget that I hope someone can help
me with.

I set the gadget up, in a requester, to be length of 20.  This worked
fine until I changed the default font for the screen to be Garnet
(a proportional font).  Now, I can only enter 10 characters, but, at
the end of entry, the cursor is sitting 20 characters out.  The entry
is spaced properly, but the cursor moves 2 spaces away from the letters
on each letter entered.

Has anybody else encountered this problem, and, if so, how did you
correct it?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
