===========
Courier looks fine on WIN XP pro, MC 2.4.3 

Couldn't you use tabbed fields to get the proper alignment with any font? 

I don't think MC or Rev allow embedding fonts. You could do a work around by 
doing a screen capture of each numeral in the font you like. You need to be 
careful about the size and alignment of each captured image. Then use the 
images in place of numerals.
