Another answer is to get the Bitstream Fontware 3.0 Kit for Windows
which allows you to generate your own fonts for Windows Apps. It comes
with versions of Times Roman (Dutch) and Helvetica (Swiss) and costs
$25 with a coupon that comes with Windows.  You generate both the 
screen and the printer fonts in whatever size you want (6pt and up) 
and whatever combination of (bold or italic) and whatever printer
Postscript, PCL, 9 pin dot matrix or 24 pin Dot matrix.  The fonts
are wonderful and it is so nice to actually be able to have WYSIWYG 
for real since you determine which font sizes you produce.  The only
drawback is that fonts take up a great deal of Disk Space.  But I suffer.
Also, the fonts do work with Windows 3.
