SetAltFont(). However, a font loaded by SetFont(), SetFontEx() or SetCIDFont() works too. In

order to activate a font loaded by a regular font loading function call ChangeAltFont().

It is possible to load more than one alternate font but only the active font will be used when

replacing text. If more than one font must be loaded, store the handle returned by SetAltFont()

and change the font with ChangeAltFont() whenever needed.

Return values:

If the function succeeds the return value is 1. If the function fails the return value is 0.

SetAltFont

Syntax:

SI32 psrSetAltFont(

const PPDF* IPDF, // PDF instance pointer

const IPSR* Ctx,

// Parser instance pointer

const char* Name, // Font name

TFStyle Style,

// Font style

double Size,

// Font size (must be greater zero)

LBOOL Embed,

// If true, the font will be embedded

TCodepage CP)

// Code page to be used

The function sets the font as alternate font that is used by ReplaceText() if the original font is not

available.

Although the parameter Size must be greater zero, the value is in fact not used when replacing

text. The parameter is reserved for future use.

Please note that the replacement text must be defined in the code page with which the font was

loaded.

To effiently change the font whenever needed, call ChangeAltFont(). It is also possible to call

SetAltFont() but this would require more processing time.

Return values:

If the function succeeds the return value is the font handle, a value greater of equal zero. If the

function fails the return value is 0.
