I'm still a little leery, as the already pointed out limitations - are 
there machines with vector instead of bitmaps Dlg fonts. Does it 
interact (worsely) with large/small font settings. And so on.

What would be greate, would be knowing how to get in 'under the hood' 
and actually override MS's behaviour here, so we can do the right thing 
always.

That said, I don'thave a better solution either... so please check it 
in, but put a comment in the rc file, about the next steps if this 
raises more issues than it solves.

Cheers,
ROb
