[Dx4win] Consolas font - an experiment

[Jim Reisert AD1C]

Can someone who does *NOT* have Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 installed (but
does preferably have Windows XP installed) please try the following experiment?
 I just don't have time to try it myself.

Download and install one of these packages:

    http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/downloads/

They are free (limited) versions of Microsoft Visual Studio.

After installation, see if the Consolas font is available to DX4WIN.  If not,
try downloading and installing it from here:

   
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=22e69ae4-7e40-4807-8a86-b3d36fab68d3&displaylang=en

If it won't let you install the Consolas font package, you're done.

If you were allowed to install it, check again to see if the font is available
to DX4WIN.

Finally, uninstall the MS Visual Studio package you installed.  See if the
Consolas font is still available (and functioning).

Please report your results to the reflector.

Thanks & 73 - Jim AD1C
