i think you did not get my point.  i don't want to use any extra-font.
 in latex, one can already change fonts even without anything such as
winfonts, is it? i just want to change font, and Tahoma is a oridinary
one for which i can find tfm files under my tex treee.  the problem
is, when in metapost using latex as preprocessor, i found i can not
change label font.
