MFC edits strange behavior

Question

I came across the inconvenient behavior of CEdit when adjusting its font: for a certain font size, letters like "g" or "j" have the missing part, regardless of the height of the CEdit rectangle. Here are two examples:

CFont *ctrlFont = new CFont(); ctrlFont ->CreatePointFont(80, "Arial Black"); CEdit m_editName; m_editName.SetFont(ctrlFont); 

with this result:

but for

 ctrlFont ->CreatePointFont(100, "Arial Black"); 

everything is good

As you can see, the height of the CEdit rectangle is greater than the height of the text in both cases. The parent control is CDialog; the font is set to ::OnInitDialog , and the size of CEdit is set using the SetWindowPos method to ::OnShowWindow . What can cause this, and how should I deal with it?

Edit: I tried the @rrirower sentence, and now I'm being fooled; adding CEdit CDC initialization to CFont greatly changed the text mask (you may not see it from the very beginning, but I have another edit with the old font on the same page and there is a big difference):

 ctrlFont1->CreatePointFont(80, "Arial Black", m_editName.GetDC());

Call CreateFont () with all parameters

  font.CreateFont( 12, // nHeight 0, // nWidth 0, // nEscapement 0, // nOrientation FW_NORMAL, // nWeight FALSE, // bItalic FALSE, // bUnderline 0, // cStrikeOut ANSI_CHARSET, // nCharSet OUT_DEFAULT_PRECIS, // nOutPrecision CLIP_DEFAULT_PRECIS, // nClipPrecision DEFAULT_QUALITY, // nQuality DEFAULT_PITCH | FF_SWISS, // nPitchAndFamily _T("Arial"))); // lpszFacename
