I tried this once and quickly gave it up.  First of all, the rogue fonts
are incomplete.  There aren't symbols defined for all of the necessary
characters.  Also, to use the fonts and also be able to read the text
you have to do some hacking to the code.  Either the normal lettering or
the screen characters have to be changed into bold fonts - a major
undertacking.  If someone out there decides they want to spent the time
and effort good luck, and I'd like to get a copy.  However, remeber to
do it you have to either track down every message or every place a
monster, wall, corridor, and object is printed.
