[CQ-Contest] [N1MM] Fwd: Re: Slashed Zero Fonts

[Todd Atkins]

Yes, I suppose the link off to the Visual Studio fonts was a poor choice
since one needs that software to make that link work.

But, you can also get the Consolas font by installing the Powerpoint 2007
viewer or the Office Compatiblity Pack.
