Ah - I see that the preference wasn't working right in the v20x series.

One way around this is to set the |MrEd:ScreenSystem__| preference to
something like

 " Sans-32"

or 

 "-*-lucida-${Screen$[weight]}-${Screen$[style]}-normal-*-32-*-*-*-*-*-*-*"

which causes MrEd to use the 32-point font whenever the control font is
used.

The former works with fontconfig (the leading space is important); the
latter should always work, but it doesn't use anti-aliasing for fonts.
