Alex, you might be right that it is the default font. I have similar 
problems with some of the PythonCard samples, ie. in the mp3player the 
buttons almost completely dissappear at the bottom of the window. 
Another example is minimalList which ads an horizontal scrollbar.

Where are these default fonts set ?  Somewhere in wxPython or wxWindows ?
