Best way to deal with dynamic CFonts

Hi all,

I'm trying to figure out what is the best way of dealing with dynamic CFonts, eg. They take on different parameters on initialization everytime the Draw() function is called.

Currently what I have is that I store the CFont as a member variable and initialize it on construction.

If the user were to change the text size or orientation, I call the following series of codes.

m_iTextSize = newSize;
m_dOrientation = newOrientation;

m_DrawFont.DeleteObject();
m_DrawFont.CreateObject(m_iTextSize,
0,
m_dOrientation * 10,
0,
FW_NORMAL,
FALSE,
FALSE,
0,
ANSI_CHARSET,
OUT_DEFAULT_PRECIS
CLIP_DEFAULT_PRECIS,
DEFAULT_QUALITY,
DEFAULT_PITCH | FF_SWISS,
"Arial");

And when I have to print out the message, I call the following series of codes.

CDC * pDC = GetDC();
CFont * pOldFont = pDC->SelectObject(&m_DrawFont);
pDC->TextOut(locationX, locationY, m_Text);
...

Would it be better if I were if I instantiate a local CFont inside my Draw() function?
