Modifying font objects

[Chris Seaton]

This is really a generic Windows progamming question, sorry...

Is it possible to modify a font object's size? I want an N point version 
of the SYSTEM_FONT. I thought that perhaps I could get an instance of 
SYSTEM_FONT, and then set some attribute for the point size. That didn't 
seem to be possible so I thought that perhaps I could call CreateFont, 
using attributes from the other font object, just using my own size, but 
there doesn't seem to be anyway to get attributes like the char set from 
a font object.

What can I do?

Thanks,

Chris Seaton

LOGFONT lf;
GetObject(hFont, sizeof(LOGFONT), &lf);
//lf.lfCharSet is what you need

lf.lfHeight = 500;
hFontNew = CreateFontIndirect(&lf);
