Can someone help me with a font problem?
In the code below I am trying to set the font for the c_info text variable.
Whether I use FF_SWISS or FF_SCRIPT or any other the displayed text is
allways the same.
Changing the height, width, weight, italic... all work and do change the
displayed text.
How do I change the actual font used? Like to Courier, Times, Script, or any
other font available.

In the .h file under I have:
protected:
  CFont InfoFont;

BOOL CEcolorDlg::OnInitDialog()
{
  CDialog::OnInitDialog();

  ASSERT((IDM_ABOUTBOX & 0xFFF0) == IDM_ABOUTBOX);
  ASSERT(IDM_ABOUTBOX < 0xF000);

  CMenu* pSysMenu = GetSystemMenu(FALSE);
  if (pSysMenu != NULL)
  {
    CString strAboutMenu;
    strAboutMenu.LoadString(IDS_ABOUTBOX);
    if (!strAboutMenu.IsEmpty())
    {
      pSysMenu->AppendMenu(MF_SEPARATOR);
      pSysMenu->AppendMenu(MF_STRING, IDM_ABOUTBOX, strAboutMenu);
    }
  }

  SetIcon(m_hIcon, TRUE); // Set big icon
  SetIcon(m_hIcon, FALSE); // Set small icon

  LOGFONT lf;
  lf.lfHeight = 15;
  lf.lfWidth = 5;
  lf.lfEscapement = 0;
  lf.lfOrientation = 0;
  lf.lfWeight = FW_NORMAL;
  lf.lfItalic = FALSE;
  lf.lfUnderline = FALSE;
  lf.lfStrikeOut = FALSE;
  lf.lfCharSet = DEFAULT_CHARSET;
  lf.lfOutPrecision = OUT_STROKE_PRECIS;
  lf.lfClipPrecision = CLIP_DEFAULT_PRECIS;
  lf.lfQuality = PROOF_QUALITY;
// lf.lfPitchAndFamily = VARIABLE_PITCH | FF_SWISS;
  lf.lfPitchAndFamily = VARIABLE_PITCH | FF_SCRIPT;
  _tcscpy(lf.lfFaceName, _T("Arial"));
  InfoFont.CreateFontIndirect(&lf);

  c_info.SetFont(&InfoFont); //c_info is the static text variable
  c_info.SetWindowText("System Ready");

//The rest of my initialization here

  return TRUE;
}

Thanks,
