I am using the GDI, and the DeleteObject function is returning an error when using a Font Handle.

It works fine for Pen and Brush handles, but not for fonts.

The command is:

  RetVal=DeleteObjectCSSP(FONT_HDC)



Any ideas why this would return an error.

Note I have declared these with a CSSP suffix, as all DLL calls I use to differentiate them from any standard ones.



The root cause is a system crash due to a memory leak, which I suspect is involved with this command not running properly.



Thanks in advance, Colin
