For the record, there were several fonts that Ian Lance Taylor added to
our copy of Tk8.0 which propagated the Window's Display Control Panel
settings for fonts. These were called "windows-menu", "windows-status",
and a few others.

If you run Insight 5.1 and use the Display Control Panel to alter the menu
font for your desktop, Insight will change. CVS, however, will not, since
scriptics did not do anything with Ian's patches. As a result, using the
Display Control Panel to alter fonts will do nothing.

I wish scriptics hadn't dropped the ball on this, since it really makes a
huge difference for the user...
