Saving Font Settings
I've written some tools that don't like the default font setting that come up with the Common Desktop Environment. (The text on the buttons looks like the dingbat character set.) The work around is to go into the style manager and set the font to anything other than 'medium' which is the default. This allows my displays to look as they should, but this setting is lost when I log out.

I've tried setting the home session as well as setting the login to return to current session. neither of these retain the font setting. I think I've narrowed it down to the "userFont" setting but I can't find where it's stored.

Any suggestions as to where to start looking?



Thanks...
