Maybe others have sung this song of woe before, but I've not heard it.

Here's the problem:  I'm developing away here and I need to use more
than one font in the editable text fields in my modeless dialog box.
Now I sure like using IsDialogEvent and DialogSelect and all that (meaning,
I *don't* want to do it all myself -- drawing a window, placing controls,
checking for mousedowns and keydowns etc.) but I can't change my fonts
on the fly.  I NEED one field to be in a different font than the other
editable and static thingies.  And please don't tell me about SetDAFont
because I don't want to change everything ;>  

Is this *truly* an example of apple working so hard for me that I have to
start from scratch in order to get around them?  Hasn't *somebody* come up
with a neat hack to solve this problem.

Double sigh . . .
