**********
>* Converts VFP foxels to screen pixels
>* tnFoxels        - fractional foxel value to convert
>* tlVertical      - Is this a Y coordinate?
>* tcFontName      - "Arial" for example
>* tnFontSize      - 10
>* tlFontBold      - Is the font bold?
>* tlFontItalics   - Is the font in italics?
>* tlFontUnderline - Is the font underlined?
