I remember from some tools that error entries were rendered in a
slanted (italic) variant of the base font. Maybe this is more in-line
with the GNOME HIG?

As there is no easy way to select a font to be italic, this is very error "intensive" :-( as it's platform specific.

Guy Harris had to do lot's of reworking of my code, doing the zoom feature I'd implemented some days ago, using font changing.

BTW: Thank you for your efforts, Guy :-)

In an ideal world, this would really be an alternative ;-)
