[comp.lang.modula3] oberon on sun in one font?

I downloaded oberon for the sparc station and I noticed that the
windows were crowded over to the right of the screen. There was only
one font. Is there some configuration other than setting the environment
variable so that other fonts may be displayed. 

Having everything crowded against the right (although readible) seems
to me a poor way of displaying the user interface. It seems like I
am missing something. There are a lot of fonts... They all sit in the
/home/local/oberon directory with the *.Obj files. What am I doing
wrong here?

Another question... Is there a way of "sealing off" an application so
to hide the details of the development environment? I would like to
build a software library mechanism to do hypertext searching of 
software components. I would like to use some of the essense of the
GUI, but not all. How does one do this?

Thanks,
