  static CFont* FromHandle( HFONT hFont );
 
  Parameter   Description
 
  <hFont>     An HFONT handle to a Windows font.
 
  Remarks
 
  Returns a pointer to a CFont object when given an HFONT handle to a
  Windows GDI font object. If a CFont object is not already attached to
  the handle, a temporary CFont object is created and attached. This
  temporary CFont object is valid only until the next time the application
  has idle time in its event loop, at which time all temporary graphic
  objects are deleted. Another way of saying this is that the temporary
  object is only valid during the processing of one window message.
 
  Return Value
 
  A pointer to a CFont object if successful; otherwise NULL.
