I got around this by hard-coding the changes in the *.m file. No, it's
not particularly elegant but it did work.
What I do now though, is use StyleForm[] on the text in the legend, and
bypass Wickham-Jones' routines (excellent though they are). Also, using
$TextStyle is apparently more PC than DefaultFont.
Regards,
Dave.
