The initial releases of the OPEN LOOK toolkit had ``hardwired'' fonts for the buttons, mainly because we had a not-so-good method of drawing the oblong outlines. (The outlines couldn't stretch to accommodate an arbitrary font, so we fixed the font.) The OPEN LOOK Release 4 toolkit has fixed this problem, and any font can be used. OpenWindows 2.0 has the problem, the next release won't. Steve Humphrey UNIX System Laboratories
