PfFindFont(), PfFindFontCx()

Generate an ID for a font

Synopsis:

#include <photon/Pf.h>
FontID * PfFindFont( char const * pkcDescription,
                     uint32_t kulFlags,
                     uint32_t kulSize );

#include <font_api.h>
FontID* PfFindFontCx  (
                       struct _Pf_ctrl *    context,
                       char const *    pkcDescription,
                       uint32_t const    kulFlags,
                       uint32_t const    kulSize );

Arguments:

context

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

pkcDescription

The foundry name of the requested font, e.g. Helvetica.

kulFlags

Flags that identify the requested font type; any combination of:

• PF_STYLE_BOLD
• PF_STYLE_ITALIC
• PF_STYLE_ANTIALIAS
• PF_STYLE_ULINE
• PF_STYLE_DULINE

kulSize

The point size requested, e.g. 12.

Library:

PfFindFont()

ph

PfFindFontCx()

font

Description:

Thess functions compose a FontID from the provided foundry descriptive name, flags, and point size.

Returns:

A pointer to a font ID that you can use with other font functions, or NULL if an error occurred.

Errors:

ESRCH

Unable to locate font.

ENOMEM

There wasn't enough memory to perform the desired request.

This function can also set errno to one of the values generated by PfQueryFonts().

Examples:

PfFindFontCx(): See the examples for PfConvertFontIDCx(), PfGetGlyphIndexCx(), and PfRenderCx().
