Yeah, I need to do something different with fixed pitched fonts. I'll look
into it.

to cope with scalable fonts (you should give the user the ability to
pick the font size rather than just display the enumerated values).

Yes, I've got a patch that correctly sets the tmPitchAndFamily field
in GetTextMetrics (and also therefore in EnumFontFamiliesEx).
Huw.
