I've run accross an interesting problem that I hope someone can shed
some light on.  Using the scheme palette I can successfully change the
color of both the Icon Text and Shadow Text, but NOT the font (at least 
not in the way I want to).  Specifically, I want both the Icon Text and
Shadow Text to be black (easy enough to do), but I want the Shadow text
to be Italicized (like a Mac alias).  I find that it is easier to 
destinquish between objects and shadows of objects that way. HOWEVER,
when I select Shadow Text in the scheme palette, then Font... and change
the font to Italic, the font for ALL objects changes.  I don't understand
why OS/2 would keep color info seperate, but not font info, especially 
when the scheme provodes the Font option for both Icon Text and Shadow
Text. Is it possible somehow to this or not?
