Actually, GETFONT was a mistake - it turns out it doesn't exist for
rich edit controls.

Yes, but SetCharFormat already does it internally (run.c:624), so
there's no need to explicitly call it again.

I had some issues with rewrapping not happening when I was testing
with mine, but it appears to be working fine on yours. A long line,
after being SETFONT'd to a larger font, would have overlapping text.

Ahh. Missed that somehow.

I'm not sure how the original control is behaving - going with
InvalidateRect, no matter if it's necessary or not, won't harm. However,
it should be done in ME_SetCharFormat, so that both EM_SETCHARFORMAT and
WM_SETFONT (and other functions) will use it.

Sounds good - I didn't test how SetCharFormat was behaving, but you're
right - it's probably needed by both. The redraw glitch can be pretty
obvious (just change any chunk of text to a smaller font)

And that is actually wrong - keep in mind that scroll position is
expressed in pixels, and the new font may be sometimes much smaller than
the old one.

I think the scroll position update code belongs to ME_SetCharFormat, and
should be added there in a separate patch. Compare WM_SETFONT to
EM_SETCHARFORMAT and you'll know why.

Sounds good to me. When it is implemented, I'll add a conformance test
for the scrolling behaviour, too.

The plan is: if my original patch gets accepted, then you can extract
the testing code and WM_GETFONT handler which is missing in my
implementation and send it as a separate patch. This will avoid the mess
related to combining those two patches into one.

MMkay. Will do!

When this stuff is finished, I'd suggest you try implementing the
ES_PASSWORD-related stuff, combined with WM_SETFONT handling it would
let us fix a couple Bugzilla reports :) It should be pretty
straightforward and independent of other parts of the code. And I'm not
going to touch that stuff now.

Most Excellent. ES_PASSWORD (actually I wrote about a third of it
already) is only supposed to affect single-line controls, but I could
always just implement it for all rich edit controls, and that'll right
itself when single-line is implemented. That would probably make more
sense, as I doubt anything relies on the "Does nothing if it's not a
single-line control" behaviour.

Actually, after implementing that there's a bunch of styles I could
add somewhat easily, like WS_SETFONT.

Thanks for the help / I'll let ya know what I'm working on.
