So, I guess what I have to do is manually figure out what the system
default font is, and declare that as the widget default font up front
and then I can specify different sizes of that font.

Another observation which I wonder has anyone else seen: I use the
widget_button menu keyword to create dropdown button menus. The font
used in the dropdown menu is always the default system font - it never
shows up in the font I specify with the widget_control command.
