Doesn't work for two reasons.

First, you need the filename of the font, which is cour.ttf.

Second, it'll be looking for it in your app folder (its not there). If you want to load it from the windows fonts folder, you need to supply an absolute path, i.e. c:\Windows\fonts\cour.ttf.

Or, just in case you are on Windows 95/98 or something...
GetEnv_("SYSTEMROOT")+"\fonts\fontfilename.ttf"
