I thought I'd solved this issue, but on closer inspection of the font in some games I've been looking at, I see that the one I'm using is merely of the same family, but not the exact font.
It's part of the Courier family, and is listed in the game's code as: 'Special Elite', 'Courier New', Courier, monospace.
Oddly, the 'body' font for this game is set to: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif.
I've tried changing the font code in my game to 'Special Elite', 'Courier New', Courier, monospace, but when I run, it's still using the standard Courier.
Anyway, below is a screengrab of the font, and a link to the game that uses it.
