What an amazing coincidence. I just stumbled on this PasswordBox Control yesterday, which addresses, among a couple others, this issue.

Did you ever take a look at the "UseSystemPasswordChar" property of TextBox? You won't need to change the font or anything...

Holy wow. Never noticed this new property. It wasn't there in 2003 and I haven't used a passworded TextBox since. The link I posted addresses the issue in .Net 1.x. OMID SOFT's recommendation will work on newer versions.
