A program that I am writing lets you create a special kind of diagram that
is very maze like but everything is described using a letter...e.g.

AAAAAACAAAABBBBB
AAAACCCAAAABAAAB
AAAACAAAAAABBABB
AAAAAAAAAABBBBAA

Now, the problem is that when I do a TextOut or a DrawText, the letters do
not align themselves correctly vertically because of the fonts.  This
becoming a very important issue...is there a way to make the characters
line up (assign 8x8 bit maps to everything?)....

Anything to solve this problem would be appreciated,

Brian
