Just define a CFont variable, and use CreatePointFont and SetFont. An example:


CFont myFont;
CRichEditCtrl editWnd; // or whatever class

myFont.CreatePointFont(120, "Courier New");
editWnd.SetFont(&edfont, TRUE);




The first value of CreatePointFont is the font size times 10, so 120 = 12 point font.

Hope that helps!

Another solution:

VERIFY(m_Font.CreateFont(
16, // nHeight
0, // nWidth
0, // nEscapement
0, // nOrientation
FW_NORMAL, // nWeight
FALSE, // bItalic
FALSE, // bUnderline
0, // cStrikeOut
ANSI_CHARSET, // nCharSet
OUT_DEFAULT_PRECIS, // nOutPrecision
CLIP_DEFAULT_PRECIS, // nClipPrecision
DEFAULT_QUALITY, // nQuality
DEFAULT_PITCH | FF_SWISS, // nPitchAndFamily
"Levenim MT")); // lpszFacename

m_MyRichEditCtrl.SetFont(&m_Font, TRUE);
