 By using wxFont::Create(wxNativeFontInfo, HFONT). wxNativeFontInfo itself
can be obtained from LOGFONT, i.e. something like this should work
(warning, this code is completely untested and does no error checking):

	// create a wxFont from the given HFONT, taking ownership of it
	wxFont CreateFontFromHFONT(HFONT hfont)
	{
		LOGFONT lf;
		::GetObject(hfont, sizeof(lf), &lf);
		wxFont font;
		font.Create(wxNativeFontInfo(lf), hfont);
		return font;
	}
