typedef struct tagFONTDESC {
  UINT     cbSizeofstruct;

  CY       cySize;
  SHORT    sWeight;
  SHORT    sCharset;
  BOOL     fItalic;
  BOOL     fUnderline;
  BOOL     fStrikethrough;

Members

cbSizeofstruct

The size of the structure, in bytes.

lpstrName

Pointer to an OLESTR that specifies the caller-owned string specifying the font name.

cySize

cySize
