Re: Fonts in .gorm files

[Gregory John Casamento]

Guys,

I must interject here.

The current CVS version of Gorm and GUI support using default fonts.  The user
can select if the system, user, menu or etc font should be used.  This will
unarchive to the appropriate font on any given system.

This functionality was added yesterday or the day before.   Renaissance is not
the only solution.

Later, GJC
