Well, I am currently happy that I have mastered Gorm so far. Renaissance may 
be the next step on the ladder to GNUstep success :-)

That's what I thought. But no. The files contain the systemFontOfSize used 
when creating the window layout. And as I've said before, I don't think it's 
really a Gorm issue, as the screen objects are simply dumped using the 
serializer. But maybe I am totally wrong somewhere.

That's right. Looks like Renaissance was the only solution to this problem.

Any other ideas someone?
