You can use

ZeroMemory((PVOID)&m_lf, sizeof(LOGFONT));
NONCLIENTMETRICS nm;
nm.cbSize = sizeof(NONCLIENTMETRICS);

// Get the system metrics for the Caption from here
VERIFY (SystemParametersInfo(SPI_GETNONCLIENTMETRICS, 0, &nm, 0));



to get the LOGFONT structure for Menu, StatusBars, and MessageBoxes.

On the other hand, you can use

CFont *pFont = GetDesktopWindow()->GetFont();
if (pFont)
{
LOGFONT logFont;
pFont->GetLogFont(&logFont);
}




All the information is in the LOGFONT structure.
