Hi again,
just to let you all know how my problem above was fixed, in case anyone else 
has the
same problem...(and also to let us know if there is a more proper way to do)

1. I upgraded to 21.2, as I saw some references to font bugs in 21.1 that had 
been fixed in 21.2.
2. Tho people independently (Sarir A Khamsi, Sarir A Khamsi ; thanks!) sent me 
   a zip file with 6x13.fon and 6x13b.fon .
3. I put these two font files in C:\WINNT\Fonts . (is this really the proper 
place?)
4. After that, the font selection meny available from shift+left-click
   lets me select 6x13 or 6x13b .
5. One can obtain a font string for use in _emacs using

   (defun fnt () (interactive)
     (insert (prin1-to-string (w32-select-font))))

   this gives me a font string which I use in

   (setq default-frame-alist
      '((cursor-color . "blue")
        (foreground-color . "white")
        (background-color . "black")
        (top . 5) (left . 10)
        (width . 80) (height . 40)
        (font . 
"-raster-6X13-medium-r-normal-normal-13-97-96-96-c-*-iso10646-1")
        )) 

   The iso number looks completely ludicrous, but what the heck, it works 
...(:-)

Any comments on all this?
