Remarks
A device context is a structure that is maintained internally. It is associated with a particular device, such as a video monitor or a printer. There is usually one device context associated with each window displayed on a video monitor. A device context contains some graphics attributes used by GDI+.
A LOGFONTA structure is a GDI structure. GDI+ uses only some of the attributes contained in this structure.
