>I have some forms for which I need to show a lot of data at one time on the form. I use a terminal font with 8 point and everything fits nicely in a textbox sized to a height of 17. The problem I am having is that it is not a true type and sometimes windows will whack out and not accept the font and substitute it for another causing oversized data in smaller text boxes and upset users.

If you're running Vista or later, and have ClearType turned on, you could experiment with Consolas:
