I use a font called 6X13 which is sans serif. It was posted on this
list some while back, so should be in the archive. If not I can send a
copy.

I evaluate one of the following in the scratch buffer to either
get the name of a selected font or all fonts
(insert (prin1-to-string (w32-select-font)))
(insert (prin1-to-string (x-list-fonts "*")))
