 ControlButton[OP_CTL_IMAGES]=xv_create(ControlPanel, PANEL_CHOICE,
        XV_SHOW,		TRUE,
        PANEL_LABEL_STRING,	"Print Image:",
        PANEL_CHOICE_STRINGS,	"Color","B/W",NULL,
        PANEL_EVENT_PROC,	panel_event_proc,
        XV_X,			xv_get(ControlButton[OP_CTL_ATTRS],XV_X)+
        			xv_get(ControlButton[OP_CTL_ATTRS],XV_WIDTH)+
        			CTL_ITEMS_XGAP,
        XV_Y,			CTL_VAROPS_Y,
        PANEL_NOTIFY_PROC,	select_image_type,
        NULL);

Inherited font is: "-adobe-courier-bold-r-*-*-*-190-*-*-*-*-*-*"

Under OpenWindows this all works fine.  Under X11R5 the
PANEL_LABEL_STRING comes out a larger size of the same font.
It's almost like the xv_create is parsing off the foundry.

We have noticed that OpenWin & X11R5 choose different foundries
if left up to the server.  So we now set the fonts with
xv_find(..., FONT_NAME, ...) making sure to explicitly set
the foundry.  Everything works great except for
PANEL_LABEL_STRINGS & MENU_TITLES.

Anyone have any clues?
