There's only one spot anyway. I suppose it does save me the trouble of making a property, but since I already made it, it would be more trouble to take it out. :)

Just goes to show you that there's more than one way to do things. It's working for me, so I'm not going to mess with it. It's only a temporary measure, anyway, until I get around to mucking with the font sizes. So I'm not concerned if it's not the most elegant solution.

Thanks,
