Something like this should be able create a font of a certain point size.

Note that if you've only the control ID then you can get the HWND it needs
with GetDlgItem(containing_hwnd, ID_NUMBER);

For TextOut use the SelectObject as Mr Gonder showed.  For a listbox send it
a message telling it to use the font.  Code to do that should look something
like this:

    SendMessage(listbox_hwnd, WM_SETFONT,
          reinterpret_cast<WPARAM>(font_hand), FALSE);

Note that in Mr Gonder's example he has the font being created and then
deleted on each pass through the TextOut.  You might consider doing it a bit
differently, creating the font when the program starts and deleting it when
the program ends.

  -------------------------
  #include <windows.h>

  // Create a fixed-width font of a given size in points
  // Return the font handle (will be NULL if it couldn't create it)
  // Call DeleteObject to delete the font handle
  // at the end of the program

  bool InitFont(int font_pts)
    {
    LOGFONT lf;

    ZeroMemory(&lf, sizeof(lf));
    lstrcpy(lf.lfFaceName, "Lucida Sans Typewriter Regular");
    lf.lfWeight = FW_LIGHT;

    HDC hdc = GetDC(GetDesktopWindow());

    lf.lfHeight =
        -MulDiv(font_pts, GetDeviceCaps(dc, LOGPIXELSY), 72);
    ReleaseDC(hdc);
    font_hand = CreateFontIndirect(&lf);

    // if it couldn't find Lucida, try again with Courier New
    if (!font_hand)
        {
        lstrcpy(lf.lfFaceName, "Courier New");
        font_hand = CreateFontIndirect(&lf);
        }

    return font_hand;
    }
