PfConvertFontID(), PfConvertFontIDCx()

Convert a font ID to a font name for backwards compatibility

Synopsis:

#include <photon/Pf.h>
char *PfConvertFontID( FontID *ptsID );

#include <font_api.h>
char* PfConvertFontIDCx( struct _Pf_ctrl * context,
                         FontID * ptsID,
                         char * szTag );

Arguments:

context

(PfConvertFontIDCx() only) A pointer to the font context to use, returned by PfAttachCx() or PfAttachDllCx().

ptsID

A pointer to a FontID structure, returned by PfDecomposeStemToIDCx() or PfDecomposeStemToID().

szTag

(PfConvertFontIDCx() only) A pointer to a location where the function can store the font stem.

Library:

PfConvertFontID()

ph

PfConvertFontIDCx()

font

Description:

These functions convert the font ID pointed to by ptsID into a font name. This function can be used for backwards compatibility with the older font API.

---

These functions don't check to see if ptsID is NULL, due to the way this routine is used.

---

Returns:

A version of the font identifier that the older font API can understand.

---

The return type/value could change in future releases of Photon.

---

Examples:
