     In response to your question about column positioning of
     text in list controls w.r.t variable width fonts.
     I had the same problem and ended up resorting to the
     owner draw list box control.  There, your application does the
     text drawing in response to the WM_DRAWITEM (?) message.
     You can then use TextOut and SetTextAlign (?) to align your
     listing text in column format with variable sized font -- you
     can even select a different font to TextOut if that suits
     you too.  I don't have my manuals here at work so the above
     names may not be exactly right, but hey, you get the idea....


     Hope this helps
