Derek,

I must say, I'm not a fan of the new default font scheme.  It was a bit 
of a surprise that the fonts in my Win32Lib apps were suddenly different.
Is there any way to turn this off unless asked for?  I understand that 
whatever the default is may not be pretty, but it's good to have a Eu
app look like other apps IMHO.

Also, the environment variable thingy doesn't seem to work.  Using the
format specified in the Docs:

w32Defaults=Font:{Comic Sans MS,12,3} 

doesn't work.  Your parsing routines don't separate the arguments 
correctly.  If I remove the {} then it splits things, and recognizes 
the face name, but not anything else.

The docs say that the Defaults system is an application specific way
to change things.  I didn't see anything specific, other than to use
the OS SET command, which doesn't seem to work from within Eu.  There
don't seem to be any demos using this feature.  Could you please elaborate
on how this is supposed to work?

It seems that calling setDefaultFont() on a created window returns things 
to normal, but this seems like an awful (and needless) workaround.
