invoke SendMessage, hControl, WM_SETFONT, hFont, 0

That worked fine in Windows 7, but Windows 10 requires 1 as redraw flag

Not sure I understand; W10 requires redrawFlag=TRUE in order to set the font at all?

That certainly seems contrary to the documented behavior.
Assembly language programming should be fun. That's why I do it.

It appears that Microsoft no longer believes in backward compatibility. I have not tested this myself, though. If that is correct, another reason to avoid Windows 10 and above.
