Foxfont was created for FPW and still ships with VFP. (I was actually a little surprised to still see it there.) Part of its cachet was providing the linedraw characters we all used in DOS apps, and part of it was to provide the font metrics FPW used to convert from Foxels to Pixels.

I suspect if you copy foxfont.fon from the VFP program folder to the Windows Fonts folder it will be available in the RW. (Or maybe not ... it's non-TT. I don't know if they only allow TT.)

It will vary from system to system depending on what fonts are installed, of course.

I'm no font expert. :-)
