As MSDN says,
Which means that you can obtain current font handle from the device context, and then obtain
LOGFONTstructure which provides you details about the font, that you requested.Since API is using currently selected font, to change it you need to have the new font handle available (you typically pre-create it, or otherwise get
HFONTfont handle using e.g.CreateFontorCreateFontIndirectAPI). Then prior to callingDrawTextyou replace current selected font with your own usingSelectObjectand once you are done you place the orignial font back with anotherSelectObjectcall.
