BuildFamilyNameAndStyle

Syntax:

LBOOL fntBuildFamilyNameAndStyle(

const void* IFont,

// Pointer to font object

char Name[128],

// 128 bytes long font name buffer

TFStyle ADDR Style) // Font style

The function tries to extract the famaily name and font style from a font object. If the family name is

not available or could not be algorithmically identified, the postscript name is copied to the

parameter Name instead. The return value indicates whether the copied font name is probably a

family name or a postscript name. The font selection mode should be set according to the return

value when trying to load the font from the system (see SetFontSelMode()).

Return values:

If the family name could be extracted the return value is 1. If the font does not contain a family name

or if there is no safe indication whether the font name represents a family name the return value is

false.

Example (C++):

SI32 SetPDFFont(const void* IFont)

{

SI32 retval;

TFStyle style;

TFontSelMode selMode;

char fontName[128];

// Get the font name

if (fntBuildFamilyNameAndStyle(IFont, fontName, fontStyle))

selMode = smFamilyName;

else

selMode = smPostScriptName;

// Set font selection mode for the first search run

pdfSetFontSelMode(pdf, selMode);

if ((retval = pdfSetFont(pdf, fontName, style, 12, true, cp1252)) < 0)

{

// If the font cannot be found then search again with reversed font

// selection mode.

if (selMode == smFamilyName)

selMode = smPostScriptName;

else

selMode = smFamilyName;

pdfSetFontSelMode(pdf, selMode);

return pdfSetFont(pdf, fontName, style, 12.0, true, cp1252);

}else

return retval;

}
