	For the n'th time, if you want to change the font of
	a control, send it a WM_SETFONT message, with the HFONT
	of your choice.  The most common requirement seems to
	be to change the font to a fixed font as follows:

	SendDlgItemMessage(hdlg,id,WM_SETFONT,
		(WPARAM)GetStockObject(SYSTEM_FIXED_FONT),0);
