I made a tiny tool in VB which calls AscW("B"), AscW("I"), AscW(" ") and
displays '66', '73', '32'
This way I could get the values I needed.

Then in my Python code:

bkfontstyle = {'normal':'32','bold':'66','italic':'73', " ":"32", "B":"66",
"I":"73"}
bukfont = win32com.client.Dispatch("swfobjs.swfObject")
bukfont.MakeFont("MyFont")
bukfont.AddGlyph("Arial", "pyBukoo", bkfontstyle['bold'])
bukfont.AddGlyph( "Arial", "pySWF ", bkfontstyle['normal'])
bukfont.AddGlyph("Arial", "and pyFlash are coming soon",
bkfontstyle['italic'])

etc..
