 Summary: FontDialog FixedWidth Problem
 
 I am using version 1.2.3.1.  The FontDialog class contains a property 
 called FixedWidth.  When set it causes only fixed width fonts to be 
 displayed (Under the Microsoft Runtime), under Mono all fonts are 
 displayesd.

+It's amazing how hard this is to do.  It should appear in the
+ToHLogFont, but it doesn't.  There's nothing on the Font object that
+tells us this is a fixed font.  There seems to be two ways to do this:
+- Measure two letter widths, like "i" and "m" and see if they are the
+same.
+- P/Invoke to the OS, and use any native methods they have.
+
+Attaching a patch that uses the first mechanism.  It reports close to
+the same fonts as MS, but adds a few useless ones like WebDings.
+
+If anyone else wants to take a better stab at this, feel free.
