I was able to do and, as expected, the character string was clipped since the
bold font produced a string longer than the window.  I need to be able to
resize the windows. I have tried to use SetWindowPos.  It works for the parent
window of the text but when I use it for the window containing the text, the
text disappears.  I was resizing when I received the WM_SETFONT message after
changing the font.
