getting rid of the font is not ideal :0

do you know where fonts are initialized/loaded and their actual sizes
determined?
They seem to scale with differring video resolutions.
It must be the width calc on bold/italics fonts. is this handled by QT or is
it part of the fonts themselves. I assume the render of the font is in QT
and not in any myth lib.
thanks
