This works, but the reason I turned to optionAdd was to avoid extra code within the widgets (laziness). Luckily, I've only a few LabFrames, but say I had 25. I would have to add 25 lines of Name = ... rather than (what I had hoped) one line of $mw->optionAdd('the font of every LabFrame', 'the font');. I thought "LabFrame" was already an identifier in itself, but apparently not.
