Yes, my mistake, I mis-typed.

It looks like super() is overriding your font setting. Here's what I do:

   def drawContent(table, dc, x, y, w, h)
     FXDCWindow.new( table ) do |mydc|
       mydc.textFont = ...
       mydc.drawText(...)
     end
   end

Can't remember why the param dc wasn't usable and I had to do the mydc 
thing, it's been a while since I was in that code...
