Subj : Re: system font To : borland.public.cpp.borlandcpp From : Jack Sawatzky Date : Tue Jul 05 2005 03:20 pm When I call CreateFont() with "SYSTEM" it gives me a font that is ten pixels high, no matter how low I set the Weight and Height parameters. The font I want is 9 pixels high; it is the font you see in nearly every Windows listing. Therefore "system" may not be the right name. EnumFontFamilies() wont do me any good, because I don't know what name to look for. MS Shell Dlg didn't get me anywhere either. The font I want is everywhere in Windows. It must be available somehow. How? Thanks. .
