Would this be a solution?
Upon starting program, Call;
FontPtr oldFontP = NULL;
FontID oldFontID = FntGetFont();
FntSetFont(128); // sets to stdFont if no 128 defined (as per Palm
References)
if (FntGetFont() == 128)
oldFontP = FntGetFontPtr();
and upon exiting program;
FntSetFont (stdFont); // so that we shouldn't interfere with the active
font
if (oldFontP)
FntDefineFont(128, oldFontP);
FntSetFont(oldFontID);
