Actually, I have a program that monitors registry activity, and it also
monitors writes to ini files, so I had the program running and the issued
the "dmfont" command. I also noticed that nbwin tries to read that file
on startup.
The program (Regmon) is available at:
http://www.sysinternals.com/
and it is free.

Also, that file (C:\Windows\swlocal.ini) does not exist before you issue
the dmfont command.

So there you have it.
