Maybe it is just my system. Better that it looks good on all Macs than
my custom linux setup anyhow.

I think this got broken a long time ago and was only fixed in the 6.0
release branch, not CVS-HEAD.

The main reason I mentioned that icon was a) the button is for making
the fonts look much better and the icon doesn't relfect this; b) as it
is the letters "FT" don't mean much, especially for the international
crowd. Maybe a fancy Gothic font or something so even if you don't get
the acronym you can figure out what it does. Sounds like a job for the
GIMP...

Why only 16x16? The "Digitize Map" and redraw icons are bigger that
that.  24x24?

Wherever possible, try not to hardcode in that sort of setting; pull it
from the d.m.tcl or elsewhere. It makes future maintenance that much
eaiser. e.g. At some point we may find that staring at Honeydew2 for too
long makes us all slighly queasy.
