This sounds to me as if you only need a screen font and not a font for
printing. AddFontResourceEx() is able to add *.FON/*.FNT screen (AKA
raster) fonts. *.FNT screen fonts can be edited with FontEdit which is
shipped with VB 6/VS 6 (you have to search on the CDs). With this it should
be possible for you to make your own font.
