thanks andrew,

i've tried your suggestion on the forum, and could enumerate the font
descriptors of the current doc.

but i'm interested in dialog controls.
few of them feature labels. they have the FontDescriptor and few other relevant
fields and methods (obviously an interface they implement).
and they obviously really use some font to render these labels.

as i said, my problem was that the FontDescriptor shows empty info.
what i can assume is, since i don't specifically set the font, the system font
is being chosen. but in this case, the descriptor of the system font should be
stored there, shouldn't it?
however i think this is a bug, i'd like to go around it, by setting myself the
system font descriptor in the FontDescriptor field of the control or any other way.

please advice on how could i obtain the system font.
and' on how could i set the font of a dialog/control.

thanks in advance,
alex
