I am trying to use vector rather than raster fonts in a Windows application.
The books I have (Petzold etc.) say that when using CreateFont(), nCharSet must
be set to OEM_CHARSET to get a vector font, since all the vector fonts are OEM
charset fonts.  But when I use OEM_CHARSET, my text gets displayed as all underscores; e. g. "Node 1" comes out as "______."  I am using TextOut to display the text.  Does anybody know why this happens or how to get vector fonts?  I want them because give more control over the size (I need for the letters to come out
very small).  Any help would be appreciated.
