Unfortunately vst_font(handle,font) puts my monochrome ST into 40 column
mode.  Yes, that's right, these are BIG characters.  Which is nice and all,
except that I need tiny letters.  Not only that, but I don't believe you can
even get out of that mode for outputting with g_text().  I tried sending
values for font of -10 thru 15 and they all put you in big mode and none
takes you out!  IT must be possible though, I mean they are there in the
icons in desktop, right???
