Have you looked at the documentation at all? Stupid question really, 'cause you obviously haven't. Does help, though. Anyway - that has the definition for CWnd::SetFont, which is this:

void SetFont(
CFont* pFont,
BOOL bRedraw = TRUE
);

No strings mentioned there? So, to change the font, you need to create a CFont. To do that, add a CFont data member to the class this code is in (the view?). Initialise the font with CFont::CreateFont and call m_button1.SetFont passing the address of the CFont data member.

Java, Basic, who cares - it's all a bunch of tree-hugging hippy cr*p

First of all you can see parameters of functions on your code you need to make this font(Courier New) for it you can use of CreateFont/CFont class and then you can use of it of the SetFont much as you are new to VC++ you can read error message(Can not convert to CFont*) so you can think its parameter is CFont not CString.
