Re: changing fonts and sizes II

I'm sorry, I didn't read your email carefully the first time, and
thought you were trying to do something with cells (like a
spreadsheet).
My comments still apply, but when I say 'cell' think of 'xy
location'. For each string you print, keep a copy of the font handle
to print it in. You will need this whenever you repaint the window.
