Font bitmaps

Does anyone know how to extract the actual bitmaps for the standard font in a Windows XP console window? (which I''m guessing is the 8x12 ''Terminal'' font) I guess i could rip the bitmaps from a screengrab, but I''d rather do it through code... So far I''ve started to parse the ega.cpi file, since I''m under the impression that the fonts are stored there. The problem is that I can''t find all possible sizes there, only 16*8, 14*8 and 8*8. Are the other ones created from those? Any ideas on how to proceed?
