I've been out of the loop for a while;  I'd like an update on the following:

BUG REPORT
----------
Configuration: Epoch 4.2 running on an HP9000/720, HPUX 9.01

Modeline has a style with a proportional font
>  (set-style-font modeline-style "lucidasans-bold-14")
The buffer style is a fixed-font (courier-14)

When a (scroll-down) occurs, the display gets garbaged. I tried the
following which didn't work:

(defun frob-scroll-down()
  (epoch::set-screen-modified (current-screen))
  (scroll-down)
  (epoch::redisplay-screen (current-screen)))

WORKAROUND
Use a fixed font style for the modeline.

It seems that ``dispepoch.c'' is broken somewhere. Anybody else have the
same problem?
