Is there any way to have the forms editor recognize the user's font (and particularly its size)? It looks to me as if, even when the form definition contains a fontdef command, the command isn't used. This would seem to limit the usefulness of the forms editor as a design tool, no?

Also, it seems to me that the forms editor is VERY sensitive to additional whitespace in the various commands: in the wrong circumstances, this can result in losing a good portion of your work. (The parts of the form that the editor balks at are perfectly acceptable when you run the form outside the editor). Is there any way that the editor could compensate for this? Somewhere the documentation mentions the possibility of manually editing the script produced by the editor: but in my view this is dangerous (unless you never intend to use the editor again on that form).
