working out which font file to use is a bit of a pain sometimes...
|
I googled for it (going from font name to font file) and could only find the
advice to enumerate all font files and read the info in them. Sounds like
loads of work :-(
I did it the other way around - point to a font file, and my GUI shows a
preview of the font.

I was trying to knock something up in VB, but came across the problem of
getting the file from the font. I couldn’t find anything suitable in the
registry either.

I’m not sure if this is what you’re talking about, but in both the
GUItxt2d app and
my cheesy tcl app I can’t get
the font file directly from the file open dialog in XP. Instead, when
I double click on a font, I get a large window with a preview of that
font. In order to get the file name I have to right click on the font
name, select properties and then cut and paste the filename
from that dialog. What a pain indeed.
I noticed another possible problem with the GUItxt2d program. It
looks like the WinExecAndWait function works on XP, but not on Win95.
On 95 I get a small dialog box with the informative message error
message “2”, and an OK button. Press Ok and then of course it
complains that the tmp.tmp file doesn’t exist. Does anyone else
out there still use 95? Probably not...
Have Fun,
Don

| (...) ?? I don't understand exactly what you're saying here. Are you trying to copy the full file path to the Clipboard? If so, don't try in the dialog, select a file instead and copy the full path from the input field 'Font file' on the main screen (...) (20 years ago, 3-May-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)
