IFIMETRICS - howto read font name and font characters
Posted by AF on March 1st, 2005


Hello,

first of all thanks a lot to everybody, who wrote back to my questions
till this time.

Now I am reading the IFIMETRICS structure to calculate the fontsize. All
works fine. But I meed to know the fontfamily and later the font glyphs
(as bitmaps) to. Reading the DDK helpfile to IFIMETRICS I found out that
the font family can be accessed by taking the assress of IFIMETRICS and
adding "dpwszFamilyName" bytes. I tried to do this, but could not take a
name like (Arial or Times Roman). Can you give me an idea.

By the way, is there an other documentation then the DDK help file for
such problems. Would be nice to know about.


Thanks, and best regards.

AF
