(a) did you verify that CreateFont actually succeeded?
VERIFY(newFont.CreateFont(...));
would be a good start. Also, although you say you are selecting the HFONT, you actually
are selecting the CFont *. The code shown should not compile; the correct code should be
CFont * oldFont = CurDC.SelectObject(&newFont);
(b) Why are you calling GetDC? This should only be done in the OnPaint handler, which
already declares a DC for your use, CPaintDC dc(this); But if you need a DC, the correct
format is to do CClientDC dc(this);, not your own GetDC/ReleaseDC.
I've never used any iconographic font, so I'm not sure how to create one. Someone else
will have to jump in with advice on that. I know that the basic Arial font does not have
any glyphs, but the font "Arial Unicode MS" has a huge number of glyphs. But since you do
not verify the font creation worked, there is no way to tell what any of this code means.
But the presence of the GetDC is deeply suspicious, and I suspect you have additional
problems you need to address.
Also, read my essay on using SaveDC/RestoreDC, on my MVP Tips site, to avoid using more
and more variables to hold saved state.
