Reset fonts / Problem with colorbuttonbitmap.pro from D. Fanning [message #61279]

Hi,

I just tried to use the colorbuttonbitmap tool in a program and got a
problem with it:

I am working on an Solaris system and normally, when I enter

Device, get_current_font=font

I get an empty string as answer. But after using the
colorbuttonbitmap.pro another value is set ('-dt-interface system-
medium-r-normal-m sans-17-170-72-72-p-97-iso8859-1') and I cannot
reset the font. Trying to enter the empty string with

Device, set_font=''

does not work. The problem is now that any letters as marks, titles...
have an different size depending if the colorbuttonbitmap function has
been used or not. After using the function I have to quit IDL and
start it again, a simple reset does not work, to get the normal font
size back.

Anyone has a solution for this problem?

Thanks,
Justus

---The code snipplet (taken from colorbuttonbitmap.pro from D.
Fanning):

wTLB = Widget_Base()
wBtn = Widget_Button(wTLB)
font = Widget_Info(wBtn, /FontName)
Widget_Control, wTLB, /Destroy

Window, XSize=100, YSize=100, /Pixmap, /Free, Retain=2
Device, Set_Font=font
WDelete, !D.Window
