I have a dialog based application that is used by users with various screen

resolutions. I use a default font set up in the resource editor

(10 pt. MS Sans Serif). This works fine on the higher resolution screens but in

800x600 it is too big to fit on the screen. If I use an 8 pt. font, it looks

better in low res but is too small in high res. I have been trying to change the

font on the fly by using the following code in the OnInitDialog;

d_dfont = GetFont();

d_dfont->GetLogFont(&d_lf);

d_dfont = new CFont();

d_lf.lfHeight -= 2;

d_dfont->CreateFontIndirect(&d_lf);

SetFont(d_dfont);

CClientDC dc(this);

dc.SelectObject(d_dfont);

This has no apparent affect. I have tried the same thing in the OnSetFont and

OnPaint functions also to no avail. What I want to do is to test the screen

resolution and then set the default font before displaying the dialog. Does

anyone know how this can be done?
