I assume that these fonts are the fonts used when windows brings up a text based
dos application in a window.  
If it is true that these fonts are the ones used in a dos window, I would think
that they are replaceable, and the lines in the system.ini file seem to agree.
If these assumptions are true I have a coupel of questions.
This first is what sort of fonts can I use for this?  Can I use any font for
windows or must it be a bitmap.
Also are there any good replacements for this set that look good at 800x600?  at
1024x768?
