How do I get the LOGFONT structure from a HFONT handle? [duplicate]

Question

If I have the handle of a window, say hWnd, I can get the handle to its font type, say hFont, like this:

HFONT hFont = SendMessage(hWnd, WM_GETFONT, NULL, NULL);

After this point, how do I obtain a LOGFONT structure (which contains many features of the font), from this HFONT handle?

My purpose is not to create a font from scratch by calling CreateFont(). I want to read font properties into a LOGFONT structure, then arbitrarily modify it, and finally update the font by calling the CreateFontIndirect() function and passing the modified LOGFONT object to it.

How do I do this?
