I use the PRESPARAMS statement.  For example, to change the font of a
*previous* CONTROL to 8 point Helvetica, use the following
PRESPARAMS statement:

   CONTROL "Text", ID_CALLSIGN, 5, 52, 94, 21, WC_STATIC, SS_TEXT |
           DT_LEFT | DT_TOP | WS_GROUP | WS_VISIBLE
   CONTROL "", ID_NAMEADDRESS, 107, 47, 114, 27, WC_MLE, MLS_BORDER |
           WS_GROUP | WS_TABSTOP | WS_VISIBLE
   PRESPARAMS PP_FONTNAMESIZE "8.Helv"

This will change the font for the ID_NAMEADDRESS control but not
for the ID_CALLSIGN control.  Also, subsequent controls will *not*
have this new font.

There are other presentation parameters and they are defined in
the file pmwin.h.
