Here is some code for the conversion:

    // You need a Graphics object for the conversion.
    // If you have CDC or Graphics object, use them.
    // If you don't such an objects below is a **sample** code for their creation
    CDC\* pDC = CDC::FromHandle(::GetDC(NULL));
    Gdiplus::Graphics g(pDC->m\_hDC);
   
    // Here is the GDI+ Font
    Gdiplus::Font gdipFont(L"Arial", (REAL)8);

    // We will use a LOGFONT structure for the conversion
    LOGFONT lf;
    
    // Get the LOGFONT from the GDI+ Font

#ifdef _UNICODE
gdipFont.GetLogFontW(&g, &lf);
#else
gdipFont.GetLogFontA(&g, &lf);
#endif

    // Create the font object
CFont font;
font.CreateFontIndirect(&lf);

Hope this helps! :)
