VC10.0

I am new to this vc++. I want to change the font size in my edit control. Here is what I have written. It compiles and runs but does not change the font size. My project has one edit box and one button.

void CHebrewDlg::OnBnClickedNext()
{
	CEdit *pCtrl = (CEdit*) GetDlgItem(IDC_EDIT1);
	int static count = 0;
	wchar_t hebrew_ch[30] = 
           { L'א', L'בּ', L'ב', L'ג', L'ד', L'ה', L'ו', L'ז', L'ח', L'ט', 
	     L'י', L'כּ', L'כ', L'ל', L'מ', L'נ', L'ס', L'ע', L'פּ', L'פ',        
	     L'צ', L'ק', L'ר', L'שׁ', L'שׂ', L'ת' };

	LOGFONT lf;

	// clear out structure
	memset(&lf, 0, sizeof(LOGFONT)); 

	// request a 12-pixel-height font
	lf.lfHeight = 24;                

	// request a face name "Arial"
	_tcsncpy_s(lf.lfFaceName, LF_FACESIZE, _T("Arial"), 7);

	CFont font1;
	font1.CreateFontIndirect(&lf);  // create the font

	// CFont::operator HFONT automatically converts font1 from 
	// CFont* to HFONT.
	CFont* font2 = CFont::FromHandle(font1);

	//send to the target window
	SendMessage((UINT)pCtrl, WM_SETFONT, (WPARAM)font2);

	pCtrl->SetWindowTextW((CString)hebrew_ch[count]);
	count = ++count % 26;

 //Done with the font. Delete the font object.
 font1.DeleteObject();
}
