Oleg,

Thanks; that looks helpful.

The default, out-of-the-box behavior of Font Chooser almost looks okay;
I just turned off bold.  As you can see at
http://facilitatedsystems.com/fontchooser.png, J's Monospaced 8 is much
bigger than Font Chooser's Monospaced 12 (you can see the .ijx window
undernearth the transparent screenshot window).

Monospaced 12, as shown in the above screenshot.

`head config.ijs' shows

NB. configuration

I'll try to get back to more experimentation later today, but perhaps
this suggests something to someone.

That sort of difference could explain things.
