Hi, Folks,
OK, I sucked, and saw .... disappointment. When I peeked at the
\windows\fonts directory earlier, I had forgotten that the folder view was
one of Windows fancy folders. Directory reading under DOS looks more
traditional, which means font-names for the files are frequently truncated.
To verify, I quickly hacked the following. Looking like either need a
mapping table or GDI access ... or ... someone needs to save me from myself.
Again!
