I start to remember things.
You get these strange results as a result of the current implementation of
GetDC, CreateFont and GetObject(gdiFont). As a temp hack I stored the
logfont info from the CreateFont into the GDIObject, so the GetObject can
return this info. GetDC doesn't store this info. So if you do a GetObject
on a font coming from such a DC (for instance the result of selectobject)
you get rubbish.
As I said it is a temp hack. The logfont info shouln't be there and the
info for GetObject(gdiFont) should be constructed from the CurrentFont, I
only rembered there was something, but didnt know what (till now)
