Can anyone tell me, with certainty, which font is used in the Win9x
BSODs?

Thanks.

Yep. It is the text font wired into your video card.

Okay.

So, there can be minor variances from one video card mfr to another in
this font?  I seem to recall every BSOD I have ever had having the same
font, regardless of the system I was using.  There must be a standard
that the video card mfrs use?  If you know what it is called, I would
really like to know.

Thanks again.

Yes. There are two quite popular fonts, though: The "standard" hardware 
font used by most card manufacturers, and the ATI font used by ... guess 
who. ;) Besides that there is (almost) nothing.

Thanks, but does this font have a name?

This Truetype font

was made to match the bitmap.
