Just don't use C++. :-)

Oh, well, if you really must, I think you'll have to do it by hand.
At least, I don't know of any tool that converts C to C++.

In your case, it looks like you just need a few typecasts, such as
(struct FONT*), to stop the C++ compiler complaining about implicit
conversion from void*.

Another problem that can exist is use of symbols like "new" and
"class", which have special meanings in C++ but can be used for
anything in C.  I don't think your program has any of these, but
if it does then you'll need to change them to something else.
