I am using some COM interface to create some HFONT.
Trouble is, the font created with this COM interface should be release with
this COM intrface.
And I don't see how I could make it work nicely with my ManagedC++ wrapper.

The solution I though of is:
when the COM interface create this reference I "clone" it and release it
immediately, and I could hgo on my business with this "clone"

So...
is there anyway to clone an HFONT?

There are 10 kinds of people in this world. Those who understand binary and
those who don't.

Check the docs for GetObject() if your question is as in the subject line.
