Did you apply your font before you resizes the windows?

Please show your actual code.  Changing a window's position should not
effect its ability to display itself.  Are you sure that you are not simply
re-positioning offscreen?

To be honest, at this point, your requirements are too complex for simple
hooks.  You would be better off just making your own dialog from scratch
instead.
