Thank you Ian,
But as I have now my dialogs all written, I do not want to go through
all the files and add a font parameter to so many widgets.
Under CDE my dialogs using a large font, under KDE a smaller one.
So how can I set this globally and not only for button widgets?
Is there an environment variable or better an global IDL variable to
set?
thanks, :-) marc

You don't mean /font or did you ?

I'm using Motif under CDE and OpenVMS and I change the font size/style
by using the FONT keyword to widget commands.
e.g. My_button = WIDGET_BUTTON(......,/FONT='Helvr12')
My_button = WIDGET_BUTTON(......,/FONT='Timb10')
The available fonts can be found using XFONT and selecting "Private".
Hope this helps,
Ian
