Dear List,

In the compose window, Balsa attempts to use the same font for the headers as 
is used to compose the text.  In recent years, that has worked only for the 
subject line, because that is the only header whose widget is packed directly 
in a grid; the others are nested in other objects like combo-boxes and 
tree-views.

A recent change in Gtk (visible in version 3.8) has made it work for all the 
headers.  Apparently, the font is now set recursively on the nested widgets.  I 
was surprised to see the effect: the sans-serif, proportionally spaced, system 
default font that I was accustomed to has become the fixed width, 
typewriter-like, Monospace.  I use Monospace for message text, so that aligned 
text like indented code looks roughly correct.  But in headers it looks, I 
dunno, clunky.  To me, there's no obvious reason for overriding the system 
default.

Any thoughts?

Peter
