Some years ago I installed a nice font called Dijkstra, which does
appear in the Blackbox list. I can't be sure I installed it this way,
but try this:

1. In Control Panel, start the application called Fonts
2. On the File menu, choose Install New Font...
3. Follow the instructions
4. Restart BB.

Hope this helps,
