Default Sending a specific font in a csv file to Excel

I am sending a csv file from a mainframe application to file on a shared
directory. All I want the user to do is double-click on the .csv and let
Excel do the rest. I have all my '"=field", and such in places where I don't
want Excel to translate when it is initiated (for example, I have one field
with values like 5-4 that I don't want Excel to translate to 4-MAY and so on.

So everything is good. Except that the user will have to change the font in
order for the spreadsheet to look right. Is there a code or escape sequence
that I can put in my csv that tells Excel to open this with something other
than Ariel 10? I don't want her to change her defaults. I just want anyone
opening this csv to get it in Lucida Console 9pt.

Suggestions anyone??

Thank you.
