If your list box is in a dialog box, its real simple.  First, get a handle
to the desired font,
     hDesiredFont = GetStockObject (XXX_FONT);  // I used SYSTEM_FIXED_FONT

Then, in the WM_INITDIALOG in your dialog box code, send a WM_SETFONT message
to the list box:
     case WM_INITDIALOG:
          SendDlgItemMessage (hDlg, ID_CONTROL, WM_SETFONT, hDesiredFont, 0L);
          // ID_CONTROL is the ID you gave to your list box, ie IDL_LISTBOX
          // other code as desired
          break;

That's it!  Hope this helps.
