1. [Win32Lib, IDE] 57.9 -->59.1 , default font changed??

Derek, Judith,

When I changed from Win32Lib 57.9 to 59.1 (in order to use getChildren), a
program I'm making using IDE 17 now shows a different (size) font in all
controls.  I'm presuming this was from some change in Win32Lib?   Is there
some way I can reset the default font in my program so it's like it was?

Judith,

Looks like I could use:
  sequence oldValues
  oldValues = setCreateFont("Times New Roman", 10, Normal, 0)

except I can't find any way within the IDE to put that BEFORE all the
control creation statements.

So how can I get that function in before any controls are created, within
the IDE?

Ok, answering my own question here, bit by bit:

"Intro" section in IDE works fine for putting setCreateFont before all
created controls; and, for some reason, "MS Sans Serif" 7 points seems to
look the same on controls as it did before with 57.9, even though I thought
it was supposed to have been "Arial" at 10.  sigh.

I doubt whether the default Windows font has ever been Arial. MS Sans Serif (or
System on older Windows systems) is commonly used as the default font.
