How can I cutomize the font in a CExtComboBox? I tried to override OnQueryFont but this method is never reached.

It looks like you are using some very old Prof-UIS version, correct?

I use Prof-UIS 2.85.

We are sorry, we checked the filtering popup list box instead of built-in items list box. The filtering list box really uses the custom font but built-in items list box is not. We fixed this issue.
Here is the updated combo box source code:

I created the combobox with: WS_VISIBLE | WS_CHILD | WS_TABSTOP | CBS_DROPDOWNLIST | CBS_OWNERDRAWFIXED | CBS_HASSTRINGS.

Now OnQueryFont still is not reached and my application crashes when I click on the combobox.

You should use the owner draw combo box. The measuring and painting is already implemented in the CExtComboBoxBase class and the OnQueryFont() virtual method is used for both measuring and painting items.
