There are 2 threads in search n destroy forums about this... I'll tell you what I do anyway...

you need to first get the logfont structure of the font you need. Read here:
http://www.codeguru.com/cpp/g-m/gdi/fonthandlinganddetection/article.php/c155

then add the font to your resource file. just like an icon. the type is "FONT" and the id is 8 i think... its on MSDN.

then findresource, loadresource, lockresource. then use addfontmemresourceex and createfont(using the logfont details you got previously)

then you have to set the font for all controls, which are all windows themselves. so you need to use enumchildwindows using a proc, inside which you sendmessage WM_SETFONT.

here are some samples...

resource file...

If he CreateFonts before the WM_CREATE message is processed, or the window is loaded at all i should say, won't it automatically set the font to his font?
