DrScheme will create that directory and file, but it should start as a
copy of the file in "defaults".

But now it occurs to me that there are two layers, and the lower layer
looks for "~/.plt-scheme/plt-prefs.ss" before the higher layer copies
out of "defaults". So, that's not a good solution after all.


Another possibility is to adjust the defaults that are built into the
executable. You could do that by modifying the source file
"plt/src/wxcommon/FontDirectory.cxx" before building.
