I would like to see if a font (Tahoma) is available as the form is being 
constructed (or perhaps there is a better time) and if it is not available 
then make a substitution to say MS Sans Serif which is basically guaranteed 
to be available.

The main reason I want to do this is to cater for 'Clear Type' used to 
improve the rendering of True fonts on LCD screens.

Any information and perhaps tips on how to best do this will be most 
welcome.

thanks
daryl
