I have tried to post this before, but we have been having problems with 
our news feed, so I don't think it made it out of our machine.  If it did
make it out and was not answered simply because nobody knows the answer,
I apologize for wasting your time.  Here goes again:

I am having a problem with a string gadget that I hope someone can help
me with.

I set the gadget up, in a requester, to be length of 20.  This worked
fine until I changed the default font for the screen to be Garnet
(a proportional font).  Now, I can only enter 10 characters, but, at
the end of entry, the cursor is sitting 20 characters out.  The entry
is spaced properly, but the cursor moves 2 spaces away from the letters
on each letter entered.

Has anybody else encountered this problem, and, if so, how did you
correct it?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Jeff Griglack
