SUMMARY

The ChooseFont() common dialog box library routine does not support fractional point sizes. When a fractional point size is entered, it is rounded to the nearest integral point size.

Rounding point sizes affects certain printers that support fractional font sizes. For example, one particular HP LaserJet font cartridge contains an 8.5-point font. The ChooseFont() dialog box displays this font as an 8- point font.
