With the ability to use fonts other than Topaz 80 in different
windows, I am wondering how the system (Intuition in particular)
determines the width of borders.

  Is there a function call that can be made to find the height 
of the top border?  If so, what is it? If not, What about
looking at the window structure, I can't remember right now, but
I recall seeing a structure which contains the TextSize. 

  Is it something like font height + 2 = border height?  

I assume that the standard window has side and bottom borders of
width and height 1 pixel.  Is this correct?

Any and all answers are appreciated. Please e-mail to cut traffic.
Thanks,
Bill Murphy
