I create a CFont object with a specific character set and I set that font in
the Device Context recieved from the ListBox, then it is OK. I can write
through that DC in the chosen charset. See Code :

I'm pretty certain it's not a bug in your Visual Studio, but otherwise I'm
not sure. In the above you do a 'new CFont'. When do you do the 'delete
CFont' ?
