Erm...the comments seem to have tailed off a bit so I take it most 
people who want to have had their say...I'll look thru all the 
comments and post a revised format soonish.

One thing that had occured to me was that it would be nice to 
have two GLS_WIND type chunks - one for System font templates, 
and one for Anti-aliased fonts...perhaps a GLS_WINF for the fancy 
font chunk? Obviously you'd tell the module which one to load 
when you do a Glass_Load or whatever so they're not soaking up 
memory if not used...
I think this would be useful, as more programs seem to be offering 
the choice of anti-aliased fonts in templates...any comments? Are 
2 chunks enough? Should we make it n chunks for extensibility?

You can't really just change the icons so they use System 
font/Fancy fonts from the one template set, as fancy ones usually 
need a bit of tweaking to look right.

Cheers,
Tim
