But what if I don't like your font? ;-)

When the user's default is used (i.e. what is set in the preference)
then we don't save that because each user has his/her own preferred font.
However, if you set the font on the View or the Display Control (overriding
the preferred font), that gets saved in the bundle.   The idea is that
each user's preferred font take preference.

I can see it going either way.  Maybe it's a good question for 
the Steering Committee!
