I went and did that, as well as installing the other monospace unicode
fonts Lucida Sans Unicode and one just called "monospace". Didn't do me
much good though: I can get them in "web page font" but they still won't
show up in "plain text font".

I managed to address "installed", but that didn't seem to
affect "available".

Andale Mono, Courier New, and Lucida Console.

  The annoying thing about this is that there's got to be someone on this
list who's using MS IE and sees their unicode plain text just fine. So I'd
rather fix whatever little thing is preventing me from doing the same, and
avoid more drastic measures if I can.
  It's kind of like living in an apartment building where your neighbour
has just had his front door replaced -- through the hallway, of course --
but the building superintendent says you can't replace *your* door unless
you knock out your whole apartment, replace the door from the outside of
the building, then build the apartment back in again.
