 That you got this far is already a great success! As already told, 
nobody tested so far the project files for Visual C++ 2005. Anyway, it 
is no surprise that exactly here are some problems. First from c-code 
'plhershey-unicode-gen.exe' is build and than this exe must be run to 
build the header file. I don't know why Visual C++ 2005 doesn't find the 
exe file, since in the CMakeLists.txt the path to that exe is explicitly 
given:

add_custom_command(
OUTPUT ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/plhershey-unicode.h
COMMAND ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/plhershey-unicode-gen${EXEEXT}
${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/fonts/plhershey-unicode.csv

via ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}. I can't test it in the moment, but you could have a look at the project file which is just a normal text file and find 'plhershey-unicode-gen.exe' and see what path is given. I think that this might be a cmake bug since this works for all other platforms/compilers tested so far.
