As the good folks at RSI have let me know, this *would*
have worked had a just set the ENABLE_FORMATTING keyword
on the text object.

So, to do this: use a Font object set up to use Hershey
fonts and be sure you enable embedded formatting codes
by setting the ENABLE_FORMATTING keyword on the text object.

Cheers,

David
