Take a look to the CFont class and CWnd::SetFont(..)

Hi Sir,
the following code maybe useful to you.

CFont* CFOCompProperties::CreateFont(CDC* pDC)
{
	LOGFONT logFont;
	ZeroMemory(&logFont, sizeof(logFont));  
	
	logFont.lfHeight = -24;
		
	logFont.lfWeight = 700;
	logFont.lfItalic = FALSE;
	logFont.lfUnderline = FALSE;
	logFont.lfStrikeOut = TRUE;
	_tcscpy(logFont.lfFaceName, _T("MS Sans Serif"));
	logFont.lfCharSet = DEFAULT_CHARSET;
	
	CFont* pFont = new CFont();
	pFont->CreateFontIndirect(&logFont);
	
	return pFont;
}

I think, the question is not something about using the font in the application. Please make the question clear.

Do u want an utility to create a your own font like Arial,Times new Roman?

If it is the question, I know some words related to that. You can try Fontographer, Microsoft volt, Typographer.... I don't know how much this may help you.

Thank u all.

i am sorry that my question was not very clear.

Main problem is - i want to create a custom font but i dont know which tool to use. Even if it is bitmap font also ok.

Next - how can i use this custom font created ,in my application? is it like using other fonts?

You admit that your question was not clear. But the sad think is it is not clear even now. Whether i was correct? You wanted a tool that creates a font. (your own font like Arial, TimesNewRoman) right?

Then, did u try any of those tools i told?
