Ok ok ok ok....

So in the Blackbox Component Pascal backwash of development systems
for Windows (and.. is there a better place to be?) we have a nasty
situation.

The "proper way" is to put some things in BOLD. Every font I've
looked at out there stretches bold letters, and therefore shifts all
yer code out of register if you are used to
doing your text editing aligning things in columns so your eye scans
them naturally.

Anyone know of a font out there that _bolds_ without widening characters?
In multiple sizes?
Freebie?
Works in windows?

My gut tells me this is possible, but I do NOT wanna fire up a font
editor and waste N days doing something that someone must have done
before.

Thanks in advance, Halftrack
