[02/03] Raster fonts

[abno]

Is it possible to use raster fonts with Visual Studio? Only Truetype fonts seem to show up in the appropriate dialog.

I'm looking to make a simulated dos prompt and the look of the text is very important.

From the help topic for the Font class:

Windows Forms applications support TrueType fonts and have limited support for OpenType fonts. If you attempt to use a font that is not supported, or the font is not installed on the machine running the application, Microsoft Sans Serif will be substituted.
