Title: How to use the temporary fonts?
Post by: Loaden on January 17, 2010, 10:24:49 am

For example there is a font named "DejaVu", I do not want to install the fonts into the system path: "C:\Windows\Fonts", then how can we use this font?

I find that OOo has such features: only copies all fonts to "share\fonts\truetype" directory.

In Windows OS, i found this API can do that:http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd183326(VS.85).aspx (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd183326(VS.85).aspx)

Are you sure? Because verifying if a string is empty is done using IsEmpty() on wx usually...?! Probably empty is a STL compatibility function?! (I need to check the docs...)

yes! is same.

Ok. But I'd still prefer IsEmpty() to avoid conflicts / misunderstandings with wxSting's Empty() method (notice the capital first letter), which clears the string.

Well.

Code

#ifdef __WXMSW__
        wxString font = wxFindFirstFile(_T("share/CodeBlocks/fonts/*.*"));
        while (!font.IsEmpty())
        {
            AddFontResource(font);
            font = wxFindNextFile();
        }

        SendMessage(HWND_BROADCAST, WM_FONTCHANGE, 0, 0);
#endif

Sorry, need an absolute path, rather than a relative path!
