<div class="markdown level1 remarks"><p>The conversion to a  LOGFONT by using ConvertFontToLOGFONT operates at the logical font level and does not guarantee that it will map to a specific physical font. It is not guaranteed that GDI will select the same physical font for displaying  text formatted by a LOGFONT as the <a class="xref" href="C1.Util.DX.DirectWrite.Font.html">Font</a> object that was converted.</p>
