What about Reading the Font Settings in Registry and use the font+sizes user have configured?<br />
The info stored in windows is not the dpi/pixels but Font Size?<br />
or do i remember wrong..<br />

I'm using a richedit control as a editor in an application that is producing information to be displayed on screen. We want the font sizes to be always the same regardless of the <br />
Windows settings so I'm using the Height property to specify the pixel height rather use the the Size property. <br />
The problem is that certain pixel heights cannot be selected in the richedit. It appears &nbsp;that only heights that map directly to point sizes are allowed. For example at the standard small fonts setting of 96dpi, a 14 point font is 19 pixels high, and can be shown. But at the large font setting of 120dpi there is no point size corresponding to this height and the richedit control changes the height to 18.<br />
<br />
Any suggestions?<br />

A font is a particular size, weight and style of a typeface. Each font is a matched set of type, one piece (called a "sort") for each glyph, and a typeface consists of a range of fonts that share an overall design. With the advent of digital typography, font is frequently synonymous with typeface, although the two terms do not necessarily mean the same thing. In particular, the use of "vector" or "outline" fonts means that different sizes of a typeface can be dynamically generated from one design. Each style may still be in a separate "font file" -- for instance, the typeface "Futura" may include the fonts "Futura roman", "Futura italic", "Futura bold" and "Futura extended" —- but the term "font" might be applied either to one of these alone or to the whole typeface.
