VB Forum / Win API / March 2007Font API
How can I load some specific fonts, like all Bengali Fonts... I was able to list Arabic, English, Hebrew, etc fonts but unable to list Bengali, Hindi Fonts... Is there any API or other techniques to list those [Bengali, Hindi] fonts? plzz, help me... thanX in advance.... [Sorry for my poor English] > How can I load some specific fonts, like all Bengali Fonts... > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > [Sorry for my poor English] This sample shows a way to get quite a bit of info from an installed font. I didn't look, but I don't think I have any 'Bengali' or similar fonts installed... so...

What do you mean by "load"? A font has to be installed in the system's font list.

It is rather unlikely that an arabic, english, and hebrew font are listed while bengali or hindi fonts are not! If they have been installed properly they should be listed all the same way because there is no difference between a TrueType font file and a TrueType font file... > Is there any API or other techniques to list those [Bengali, Hindi] > fonts? The technique to list a bengali or hindi font is the same to be used to list a arabic, english, hebrew, etc. font.

I see what you mean: Assign the font to a control. Any font is assigned to a control by setting the Font.Name property to the face name of the font. Note, that on MS Windows 9x with font sizes less or equal then 8 points you should do as follows Font.Size = 6 Font.Name = "My Font" Font.Size = 6 ' 2nd time... But this presumably isn't your problem. > Problem is codepage not TTF file - Give us the name of the bengali and/or hindi font you want to assign - Show us the code you are using to list the fonts - Show us the code you are using to assign the font to your control Signature---------------------------------------------------------------------- THORSTEN ALBERS Universität Freiburg albers@ uni-freiburg.de ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Without code, and system setup, it's impossible to do anything but a wild guess. First off, make sure you have Windows 2000, XP or Vista (you failed to list the OS). Since you have Arabic and Hebrew working, but not the Indic fonts, you should verify that you have installed the relevant support. First off note that Hindi is a language and not a font, and that it has two distinct writing systems. The Indic font for Hindi is Devanagan, the arabic font you already have working according to your post. Start -> Control Panel -> Regional and Language Options -> Languages. Make sure that both check boxes in Supplemental language support are checked. Click advanced on Text services and input languages and make sure you've set up Hindi and Bengali as input languages. Start -> Control Panel -> Regional and Language Options -> Advanced. Validate the code page conversion tables, such as 57002 and 57003 for your case. If all of this is OK, post your code. > How can I load some specific fonts, like all Bengali Fonts... > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > [Sorry for my poor English] On Mar 18, 2:42 pm, "Mark Yudkin" <DoNotContac...@boingboing.org> wrote: > Without code, and system setup, it's impossible to do anything but a wild > guess.

I'm using Windows XP SP2 I want to make a combo work like Microsoft Word's Complex Script Fonts Combo (Press Ctrl+D in MS Word, If you've complex script installed in your machine, then you can see this combo.... It works like, when you type Hindi (In our country we use Hindi instead of Devanagari, Devanagari is an ancient word but i had to mention it before. Sorry : ( ) this combo list contains only those fonts, who have Hindi characters in their glyph... I think this time I make myself clear.. > Start -> Control Panel -> Regional and Language Options -> Languages. Make > sure that both check boxes in Supplemental language support are checked.

Here is my font related coding... .................. EnumFontFamiliesEx Me.hDC, LF, AddressOf EnumFontFamProc, ByVal 0&, 0 ............. Function EnumFontFamProc(lpNLF As LOGFONT, lpNTM As NEWTEXTMETRIC, ByVal FontType As Long, lParam As Long) As Long Dim FaceName As String 'convert the returned string to Unicode FaceName = StrConv(lpNLF.lfFaceName, vbUnicode) If (lpNLF.lfPitchAndFamily = 2 And lpNLF.lfCharSet = 0) Then Call AddItemBySort(frmMain.comFont, Left$(FaceName, InStr(FaceName, vbNullChar) - 1)) 'continue enumeration EnumFontFamProc = 1 End Function ............. But in this way, one or two english font(s) also appear in my list..

This doesn't matter for your code since both the ENUMLOGFONT and the ENUMLOGFONTEX structure start with a LOGFONT structure, so that a pointer to an ENUMLOGFONT/ENUMLOGFONTEX structure is also a pointer to a LOGFONT structure. But for a good coding style you should use the appropriate callback procedure which is for EnumFontFamiliesEx(): Function EnumFontFamExProc _ ( ByVal pELFE As ENUMLOGFONTEX, _ ByVal pNTME As NEWTEXTMETRICEX, _ ByVal lFontType As Long, ByVal lParam As Long _ ) As Long End Funtion > If (lpNLF.lfPitchAndFamily = 2 And lpNLF.lfCharSet = 0) Then Call > AddItemBySort(frmMain.comFont, Left$(FaceName, InStr(FaceName, > vbNullChar) - 1)) This selects only those fonts of the listed ones which have - a variable pitch - a font-family 'don't care' - an ANSI character set It is very unlikely that this indeed is the selection you want - unless the LF initialization mentioned above is already used to get a restricted enumeration. Signature---------------------------------------------------------------------- THORSTEN ALBERS Universität Freiburg albers@ uni-freiburg.de ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for your advice :) .... I've tried with both EnumFontFamilies & EnumFontFamiliesEx and I've two callback function in my coding... I had made the mistake when I'm coping... LF is nothing.... Dim LF As LOGFONT EnumFontFamiliesEx Me.hDC, LF, AddressOf EnumFontFamProc, ByVal 0&, 0 Backslash <torifat@gmail.com> schrieb im Beitrag <1174318705.479417.192440@n59g2000hsh.googlegroups.com>... > LF is nothing.... > Dim LF As LOGFONT > EnumFontFamiliesEx Me.hDC, LF, AddressOf EnumFontFamProc, ByVal 0&, 0 In this case LF.lfCharset is 0 when passed to EnumFontFamiliesEx(). Since 0 is ANSI_CHARSET, only those fonts implementing the ANSI character set will be enumerated - which possibly excludes the bengali and/or hindi fonts which you want to be enumerated.

I forgot: Set LF.lfCharset to DEFAULT_CHARSET (= 1) to enumerate all fonts. Then select the fonts wanted either by the codepage bit or the Unicode coderange bit in NEWTEXTMETRICEX.FONTSIGNATURE.fsCsb/.fsUsb.
