Re: Default Font Bolded

Really ? So, I will probably end up creating a Font, but this returns back to my initial question:

Why is the font bold on first call and then normal ?

Does it mean that something in the OnPaint procedure has altered the Font and that -as you pointed out- a new font has been created which is now in use ?

I just would like to understand what happened.
