I viewed the source of FrmCustomAlert and your absolutley right, (to my
surprise) they do override the font setting.
<snip file="form.c" function="FrmCustomAlert">
curFont = FntSetFont (boldFont);
</snip>

How the guys/girls at palm came up with that idea I'll never figure out. At
least they could have given the user a chance to tell FrmCustomAlert not to
use the defualt font for an alert but instead use the currently set
font.....

Anyways I'll go write my own alert handler now.
