Rendering fonts on Windows

[Dar Scott]

Nobody else seems to be having this problem, so I think there is 
something stupid I'm missing.

I can make a stack that looks nice on OS X and it looks crumby on 
Windows.

One of the problems is that fonts are rendered different sizes even 
when they are fonts available on both systems such as Courier New.  
Often the tops of letters are occasionally chopped off.  Also color is 
often applied only to the bottom of letters.  The same font will look 
ugly in a field but look OK in an editor.

What am I missing?
