A combination of flags that should work is:

FPF_ROMFONT|FPF_DISKFONT|FPF_PROPORTIONAL|FPF_DESIGNED

and your name should be tracers.font, so your structure should be:

struct TextAttr tr_font_attr = {
	"tracers.font",
	6,
	FS_NORMAL,
	FPF_ROMFONT|FPF_DISKFONT|FPF_PROPORTIONAL|FPF_DESIGNED
};

(you might also need a tracer.font file containing the font header
information for the font sizes in tracer in the font: directory.
But, then again, since you've got the name, you might not.  Try it and see.
