    The problem with the Win32 rulers is that we need to
    get a Device Units size before we can ensure that we
    have a graphics class. This can be worked around with
    someone with some skillz.

    The real problem is getting the fonts to show up
    properly. Tomas' emails have vital information on how
    to do this.
