Re: Monospaced font

Oops! That only changes the defaults for Cocoa applications. Maybe there's
a way to get that information and use it in Carbon applications.

Under pre-X, you can use the SetScriptVariable function to get the system to
take any change you make to these default fonts while the OS is running, but
I don't know what would happen with X-based applications due to the
non-shared state of the system.
