non true type - C# / C Sharp

a_man

hello everyone

I need to print with the e.graphics.draw string method.
And it takes among other a font object as argument.
But I want to use a font which is not a true type. Therefore im stuck
right now.
How do I print using a font that is not a true type font and actually
is hardware resident

Thank you in advance
Amir

Amir,

How would you do it normally? If you have a way to get a handle to the
font programatically (you must, otherwise, the abstracted graphics routines
would have NO clue how to render this) then you can pass it anywhere you
want.

Can you get a handle to it? Is there an API that does this?

Also, how is it hardware resident? Are you saying that the font is on
the printer itself? That makes little sense to me.

Hello Nicholas

Im using an api, which uses some methods that call some unmanaged
functions.
Right now I´m home and I dont have the code here, but I will post it
tomorrow from work.
But for now: One of these methods returns a LOGFONT struct thing.
and this LOGFONT has all the information, like font name, size and so
on.
Then I try this
Font f=Font.FromLogF ont(the logfont struct that my api method returns)

Then i get the error message saying that the font is not a true type and
therefor not supported and thereby I have no chance to pass the font to
the graphics.drawst ring method.

And about the hardware-resident fonts. Yeah I actually believe that the
fonts are only availabe on the printer it self. Its a label printer.

Like when i choose it as defaultprinter and then open microsoft word,
I see the true type font marked as TT and I see some other fonts marked
with an o and then the printers own font marked with a printer
picture.Some of these fonts are Code 39, EAN 8 , EAN 13 and so.
My employer wants me to use these fonts for general purposes.

In vb6.0 its easy to get hold of these fonts by using printer.Fonts
but its not so straightforward in .net.
it think its impossible since the .netplatform does not support fonts
that are not true types.

Dear Nicholas I would be thankfull for your further reply

Thank you in advance
Amir

while 1 vs while True

by: Timothy Fitz | last post by:

http://www.python.org/moin/PythonSpeed ] "Starting with Py2.3, the interpreter optimizes 'while 1' to just a single jump. In contrast "while True" takes several more steps. While the latter is preferred for clarity, time-critical code should use the first form." Out of pure curiousity, Why wasn't 'While True' optimized also?

Why is minus one (-1) equal to true in VB again?

by: Ruffin Bailey | last post by:

I coulda sworn I was given an explanation during an AppDev class years ago for VB6, but don't recall the answer. Why is it that -1 is True in Visual Basic (and now VB.NET)? Bit flags seem like they should always be 0 or 1 to me... (not that I haven't used VB long enough by now to know better). Sorry to pester, but "why is -1 = true?" is a difficult thing to Google!

rationale for #define true 1 in stdbool.h

by: Ben Hinkle | last post by:

I'm curious, what was the rationale for making a builtin type _Bool but then having #define true 1 #define false 0 in stdbool.h? That seems very odd that true and false don't have type _Bool. In particular I'm poking around with some language extensions to C and one of the most obvious extensions is overloading. Since "true" doesn't have type _Bool it makes overloading behavior with _Bool very odd. You'd think that at least it could be...

(true = 1) returns false?

by: Jason | last post by:

I am fairly new to ASP--I have been using it about 2 months. I did these tests (below), and it doesn't make sense to me. False is equal to 0, and that's fine. True should be equal to 1, but it's not. Actually, True should be equal to anything but False, null, and 0. Is there a workaround for this? Or do I need to change all my comparisons to = 1 instead of = true? response.write True = 1 'prints False response.write True = 0 ...
