With this returned handle I try to fill a structure with GetObject:

HGDIOBJ hobj=GetStockObject(ANSI_FIXED_FONT);
LOGFONT lfSys;
int ret=GetObject(hobj, sizeof(lfSys), &lfSys);
(Windows returns 36)

After that lfSys has all the info about this font. In Windows the members are
filled nicely, lfSys.lfFaceName is "Courier".

In Wine GetObject returns 60 (for whatever reason), and lfSys.lfFaceName
is empty. Now this could mean that the handles are invalid or that there
is something wrong with my fonts.

Thanks
