How does one set the font for a listbox?  The only thing I can find
about changing fonts in TFM is for TextOut. i.e.
   SelectObject (hDC, hFont);
   TextOut (hDC, ...);

The only way I can see to use this information would be with an owner-draw
listbox (and that LOOKS like a lot of work to me).

If I HAVE to, I'll change the font for the whole application.  How does one
do that?  For each of these cases, it seems as though I ought to be able to
   SelectObject (display_context_used_by_window_or_application, hFont);
but I do not know how to get at the display context (i.e. GetDC seems to be
creating a NEW DC, and not returning the address of the DC to be used by the
window or application).
