In the definition of your dialog (the .h file), include a CFont object (m_font). Initialise that font object in your constructor:

// example only, use the large font you're after:
LOGFONT lf;
NONCLIENTMETRICS ncm;

ncm.cbSize = sizeof(ncm);
VERIFY(SystemParametersInfo(SPI_GETNONCLIENTMETRICS, ncm.cbSize, &ncm, 0));
memcpy(&lf, &ncm.lfMessageFont, sizeof(LOGFONT));
m_font.CreateFontIndirect(&lf);

Then in your OnInitDialog, get the CStatic object for the ontrol, and set it's font. Remember, you need to have named the object in the resources something other then IDC_STATIC.

CWnd *wnd = GetDlgItem(IDC_YOURCTRL);
ASSERT(wnd);
if (wnd) wnd->SetFont(&m_font);
