Daryl,

A (long) while back I wanted to use this font in one of my programs.  
The only way I could get it was by changing Win32Lib's default font to 
OEM_FIXED_FONT.  This can now be done without modifying the library 
using "setStartupFont( OEM_FIXED_FONT )".

However, here is an interesting note from MS:
