I'm guessing that the lack of GETLASTERROR() result is due to the fact the the OS performs silent font substitution for you such that if the font isn't available, the font mapper selects one that's "close to" the one you specify. If so, I'd consider the lack of such information informing you that a font substitution was performed to be a poor design. I would at least hope for a GETLASTERROR() result of "font substitution performed", as an informational error. Unfortunately, Windows does not seem to support very well the usual return code categories found in other operating systems (Informational, Warning, Error (processing contined), Severe Error (processing halted, etc.)).
