Wow that was a particularlu rushed email. I have just tried your new code
with the #if 1 in. It works fine on my RH 7.2 laptop. I would tentatively
agree to go with this new code.

I did notice however that you've put some raw calls to the Xserver in the
in there as well. Is there any possibily you could use gdk calls instead?
 
Gtk is being ported to many places outside of Xwindows. It would be nice
keep abi similarly portable. On theother hand our main "market" is
certainly X-based Unix systems for the gtk port and if this code solves
the "Times New Roman" problem I'd vote to go with the raw X calls.

Cheers

Martin
