[comp.windows.ms] Need Help with Font Juggling: Two Couriers

sip1@quads.uchicago.edu (timothy francis sipples) (12/15/90)

I'm having trouble with Windows in terms of font selection.  I have a
LaserJet IIP, and I've created Courier using Bitstream's Fontware.  The
Bitstream Courier fonts (screen fonts, that is -- these are screen fonts to
represent _exactly_ what appears on the page) I've created are in 8.5, 10, 12
sizes (for LinePrinter, 12-pitch, and 10-pitch Courier, the IIP's built-in
fonts).

Trouble is that Word for Windows won't use these fonts and instead uses
the standard Courier screen font (COURB.FON, I believe).  I've tried
commenting out COURB.FON in WIN.INI, but that doesn't help other programs
(some look much better with COURB.FON, e.g. Terminal, QVT, and the like).

Any ideas how to get Windows applications to use the right screen fonts?

Thanks in advance.
