Ginge, are u still using the original CHARFORMAT structure? Try using the extended CHARFORMAT2 structure. U are probably using 2.0 anyway .

CHARFORMAT2 (MSDN)

The CHARFORMAT2 structure contains information about character formatting in a rich edit control. CHARFORMAT2 is a Rich Edit 2.0 extension of the CHARFORMAT structure. Rich Edit 2.0 allows you to use either structure with the EM_GETCHARFORMAT and EM_SETCHARFORMAT messages.

typedef struct _charformat2 {
  UINT        cbSize;
  DWORD       dwMask;
  DWORD       dwEffects;
  LONG        yHeight;
  LONG        yOffset;
  COLORREF    crTextColor;
  BYTE        bCharSet;
  BYTE        bPitchAndFamily;
  WCHAR       szFaceName(LF_FACESIZE);
  WORD        wWeight;
  SHORT       sSpacing;
  COLORREF    crBackColor;    // Background color : -)
  LCID        lcid;
  DWORD       dwReserved;
  SHORT       sStyle;
  WORD        wKerning;
  BYTE        bUnderlineType;
  BYTE        bAnimation;
  BYTE        bRevAuthor;
  BYTE        bReserved1;
} CHARFORMAT2;

Hope this helps!
