I don't know about the original poster, but in my case this doesn't help.  It
has nothing to do with the fonts being unavailable to W4W.  The fonts are
supposed to appear in a listbox below the edit box.  Actually, I believe
that the list box is there, it's just hidden behind the main W4W window.  If
you use the up/down arrow keys, the font name listed in the edit box will
cycle through all font options.

I've seen this behavior from several apps for this type of control.  I think
it's an OS/2 bug, not a bug in the apps.
