No, you do not have to make an owner drawn listbox control.

The method is to send a WM_SETFONT message to the control. I.e.

	HFONT font;

	font = CreateFont (....)

	SendDlgItemMessage(hDlg,LISTBOX,WM_SETFONT,(WORD)font,(LONG)TRUE);

I haven't tried this, when the listbox is NOT part of a dialog box, but I
assume the method is similar.
