Please see "Font Installation and Deletion" in the WIN32.HLP (and the
several pages after that) 
To paraphrase:
Fonts must be installed in the system before they can be used.

That means you need to "install" your resource font (AddFontResource).
Then you can use CreateFont() to load that font from the system, and
use it.
