Hmm. (Shame on me not reading my TIPS.TXT!)

Their warning about not encourging fonts in exe files is (I think) saying
that you should put them in a .FON file (which is a null EXE file with only
font and fontdir resources ... see link problem).

Perhaps you have hit the nail on the head with what my problem is ... 
the handle they are talking about in the SDK doco (for the font lib) is
one returned from LoadResource and _NOT_ (as I assumed) LoadLibrary.

I'll try that (inconvenient as it is, seeing as I'm already loading the DLL)
and see wot happens.
