Dave,
The problem MAY be due to the fact that I am trying
to used mixed fonts (prop and fixed) in one Window.
MS VC++ didn't support this - I had to override the
default font dynamically. The fixed font I am
assigning is "Courier New"/OEM_FIXED_FONT.
ECS/NT reports no error, but makes ALL fonts
(I think) in the Window too big.
