        You should be able to use the *.CHR fonts which come with Borland
Compilers, really easily. Umm, I haven't used them in Pascal as all my
graphics programming has been done in C++, but the functions are generally
pretty similar between the two, especially for graphics, so check out the
online help on InitGraph, OutText, SetFont (Roughly the cmd names I can't
be bothered looking them up right now).  The *.BGI files are the video
drivers and stuff...
