To follow up to my own post :-)

I've looked around the net for some BDF fonts that BDFFontReader could 
use.  Mind you, it wasn't an exhaustive search, but I came up empty for 
any big fonts.  I finally settled on a 24 point font that BDFFontReader 
already knew about, though.

Anyway, I think this whole font thing can be a real can of worms, and 
I'm not sure what the real solution is.  But at this point in time, I'm 
no longer pursuing it.
