Thanks, but I'm not clear on where I'd do this as I'm just using the default
font and size, so presumably

'DejaVu Sans Mono,18' is the default font.

All I'm doing is:

    g_assert( tover = gst_element_factory_make ("timeoverlay", "tover"));
    g_object_set (G_OBJECT (tover), "halign", "right", NULL);	// set overlay
properties
    g_object_set (G_OBJECT (tover), "valign", "top", NULL);
    g_object_set (G_OBJECT (tover), "text", "R:", NULL);
    g_object_set (G_OBJECT (tover), "ypad", 0, NULL);

    g_assert( tover1 = gst_element_factory_make ("timeoverlay", "tover1"));
    g_object_set (G_OBJECT (tover1), "halign", "right", NULL);
    g_object_set (G_OBJECT (tover1), "valign", "top", NULL);
    g_object_set (G_OBJECT (tover1), "text", "L:", NULL);
    g_object_set (G_OBJECT (tover1), "ypad", 0, NULL);

    g_assert( tover2 = gst_element_factory_make ("timeoverlay", "tover2"));
    g_object_set (G_OBJECT (tover2), "ypad", 0, NULL);
    g_object_set (G_OBJECT (tover2), "text", "  Stream:", NULL);

Is the default font system dependent?  I've never seen the issue on some
systems at all.  What would be the safest font to use?  I've never really
cared about fonts as long as its readable.
