Windows 7 and device fonts

We have a legacy (delphi 7 pro) application that lists the fonts available from a printer (the industry we serve still use dot matrix printers extensively... not my choice). Works great on XP/2003.

When we run this app on Windows 7, the list no longer includes the device fonts (Roman CPI fonts to be more specific).

If I open MS Word on the same Windows 7 machine (with the default printer set to the Epson Dot Matrix Printers), it shows the CPI fonts fine.

I've done lots of research on the web for a solution, but cannot find one. Any thoughts?
 
Forgot to mention that the application uses the normal TFontDialog. But the dialog will not show the device fonts.
