I am fairly new to C++ so if this is incredibly obvious, forgive me.

I am working on a project for my PC where I would like to treat things
like windows as a class. I don't have a lot of trouble with that except
how to handle an error situation in the constructor for the class. There
are a few dependencies that may make creating an object illegal (i.e.
invalid font type) and I would like to provide some way for the program
creating the object to detect this and handle it appropriately. How
can I go about doing this?

If my philosphy is completely out of line here, then please point that
out as well.

Thanks
Dan
