I always had trouble trying to make such a dummy DLL and then adding
the font.  Maybe I should try again, but what I do now is take a
bitmapped font like 'TMSRE.FON' and rename it to 'MYFONT.FON', compile
the .FNT file into a .RES file and then replace the TMSRE font with my
font by going:
	rc MYFONT.RES MYFONT.FON

That has always worked for me although it's a hack.  I guess I should
try the regular dummy DLL again.  It does seem kind of silly though to
make you stuff fonts into DLLs since it's hard to get them back out
again if you want to modify them.
