So, your question is kinda opposite to the one you asked! Here you go:

CFont fMyFont (.....);
CFont *fOld = pDC->SelectObject (&fMyFont); // keep track of original font
pDC->DrawTest (...);
pDC->SelectObject (&fOld); // put things back as they were

"..."'s left as an exercise for the reader. Iain.
