Hi people I've been trying for a long time now to find a function
that'll determine if Windows95/98 is using Small or Large fonts.
Isn't there something like this that would determine it:

Dim FontSize As BOOL
FontSize = GetFontSize()

If FontSize = True Then			'large
	'blah
Else					'small
	'blah
End If

If there is no function that would work as the above wishful thinking
I have just typed, please tell me how I would find out.  Thanx

If you wish to find entries from the Windows 95/98, NT registry you
need to use GetSetting or GetAllSettings VB functions. You can find
help on these in the help file. Unfortunately, to use the GetSetting
you must know the registry key. 

Dan Applemans Gude to the Win32 API is also a very good book. It has a
whole chapter set aside for Windows fonts and outlines all of the
API's used to set and get font information
