Better yet, use the 'Small Fonts' font in Windows, then pick the point size
for the height of letters required in pixels.  'Small Fonts' is actually a
set of custom-designed fonts at precise pixel heights, unlike the True-Type
fonts (e.g. Arial) which are just single sets of resizeable characters.

Write your text to the screen in a paint package, then zoom in to see the
individual pixels.
