[Mono-winforms-list] Control Resize?

[Josh]

To test, how can I statically set the control to use a Linux default font?
I'm on Fedora and have the liberation fonts installed.

Still continuing to test, I'm only finding minor placement issues with
Labels, LinkLabels, List/Combo boxes (which is to be expected) but the
aforementioned control text as well as all checkbox/radiobox controls hasn't
changed. I have tried setting the fonts to something huge (10) and also to
small (5) but the control looks no different while running under Mono in
linux.
