Hi Jim,
         I couldn't find that font on my system, but a quick search 
turned up this page on the Microsoft web site: 
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=22e69ae4-7e40-4807-8a86-b3d36fab68d3&displaylang=en 


         You can download the font from there, and it looks like this 
might be designed specifically for Visual Studio 2005, so that might 
explain why those of us who don't have VS don't have it on their systems.

         Anyway, I downloaded it, installed it, and set it up as you 
suggested, and I agree that it looks like it's a perfect match. Thanks!
