Currently with my settings all digits are 5 pixels, space and period are 4 pixels. I am using GetTextExtentPoint32(..) to determine character width in pixels. What parameter in LOGFONT needs to be set? Any examples?

It might also be easier to check the character widths by using GetCharWidth32() Quote: What parameter in LOGFONT needs to be set?

Use a monospaced font like Courier New.

What parameter in LOGFONT needs to be set? Any examples? You might want to examine the ExtTextOut function and in particular the lpDx argument. Using the lpDx argument you can control the position of the characters regardless of the font used.
