[Chameleon] Locate widget

[Godwin, Elizabeth]

Ok... So it seems I looked too quickly.  I think I also assumed that the
widget was calling the default fonts (chameleon/etc).

That said... should a generic widget be using it's OWN fonts, or those
supplied by the application?  It's obviously using mine, but one
shouldn't have to go and change the widget to change the font used by
the locate widget.

Perhaps it should be an attribute set at the widget since it is
something that affects the Look and Feel of the application.  ie
font=sans or font=arial etc.  Should fonts be part of skins since they
also affect buttons etc?

Should I post an enhancement?

Liz,

can you try changing to another font that is in the font file?  Also, 
please triple check that you are using the font file you think you are 
using (i.e. change its name on disk and in the map file and make sure 
that it still loads the map file ok).
