I have noticed a strange incompatibility with ZTerm 0.75 and the Multifinder.
When using the ZTerm under Multifinder, without having anything special going
on in the background (just GIFfer and StuffIt) the ZTerm font without any
provocation suddenly changed into a scaled-down Helvetica (or whatever you
call that sans-serif font you get with the system).  At the time I *think*
the machine that was online sent a "inverse-field" ESCape sequence.  But I'm
not sure if it has anything to do with the happening.

I had to restart ZTerm to get it OK again... it's no fun trying to use a
remote computer with a relative-width font !

I've had this happen a couple of times to me now, so I'm sure it's nothing
random (bad ESC sequences or such).

Anyone know what's happening ?
