NET GDI+ an win GDI32 font excgange...

Hello,

I am developing a program which functions as a WYSIWYG for a special
printer. This is an non-pcl printer which has it's own language.
I already tapped into the winspool.drv to acces it directly an it worked.
But nog I am having problem with GDI+. This can only use TrueType fonts
and I only did manage to get my hands on the softfonts (.sfp) and conveted
them
sofar into .fon and .fnt type fonts which can be used by GDI32.
I found a reference in the MSDN about privatefontcoll ection and
AddReferenceFon t() function but no working examples.

I made a wrapper around the GDI32 and the function AddFontResource () and
it works, it returns a valid number ( e.g. 1) wen trying to add the font.
But what then ?? How can I link the newly added font into my
privatefontcoll ection ?
Or must this also be a ttf to be shown on the GDI+ ? If so does anyone
have a clue as how to convert bitmapped fonts into truetype fonts ??
Or should I make C-font and compile them into a dll and add these ?
Could someone please help !!

Thanks a thousend times

Hi In my vb.net Installer class, I check the InstalledFontCollection for myFont, if it isn't there I try to install it using the GDI function AddFontResource. I am getting the following error and don't know why: "System.EntryPointNotFoundException: Unable to find an entry point named AddFontResource in DLL gdi32.dll"

Hi all... i am trying to print an image using GDI - but the only thing i get is a black rectangle. Does anybody know what is wrong, or how else to get the bitmap on the printer (GDI+ is not possible. it is a POS printer (for restaurants) and the printer internal fonts are a MUST for printing speed. as far as i know printer internal fonts are only accessable through GDI, so all my printing is GDI up to now)

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
