Don,

I'm not looking for a *dialog*, wherein a user *selects* a font/size,
but rather a way for my *program* to ascertain what font size is currently
in force for a window.  I want my program to GET the font size first, then
it will decrement it as necessary, then return to original after using 
smaller size as needed to fit space allotted.
