'-----------------------------------

Go for Lucida Console... Works for me :o)

As for convincing Outlook Express to use it... well, that's a toughy if it
won't stay on Lucida Console. I have heard in the past of certain ISPs
implementing defaults that are reinstated each time a browser/email program
is started, but I can't help you with that bit.
