I’m writing an app that needs to center text and proprtional fonts mess it up. I’m having a hard time coming up with a list of the standard Windows fonts that are fixed-width; i.e., non-proportional. So far I have Courier, Courier New, and Lucinda Console. Are there any others?

[Here is a discussion](http://www.brunningonline.net/simon/blog/archives/000950.html) in which the OP promotes the [downloadable](http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=34153) Andale Mono. I have no idea what it looks like or how the download damages one’s puter.
