Does anyone know the correct arguments for WinSetPresParam() to change
the font of a dialog control?  According to the documentation, the ID
value is PP_FONTNAMESIZE, but it doesn't say what the buffer contents
and length should be.

I would like to change one of my controls to use a slightly larger
font, such as Helv 18, bold if possible.

Thanks,
	Dave

buffer="18.Helv"
len=strlen(buffer)+1  (for the null character)

The best way to change fonts in a dialog control is right in the .RC file
using PRESPARAMS statement in the dialog description. Otherwise, working 
with fonts is a real trouble. Simply changing Presentation Parameters will not
work. For the right way of doing it check Petzold's "Programming the OS/2
Presentation Manager".  Good luck,
