Hi
I'm trying to write an app and don't know how to start.
I'll have a selector with a list of true type fonts.
Each font will represent a different set of chars. Example
*arial-font
*arabic-font
*russian-font
*cyrillic-font
When the user select one of them, I should list all chars available in
the font.
With ansi characterset it's easy, just loop from 0-255 and print the
char representation of an integer value, but I don't know how to
achieve this.
Any idea?

Sorry, True-Type fonts are off-topic. You need to ask in the newsgroup
that deals with them, most likely your platform newsgroup, where the
API for working with fonts is available.

How to achieve what? As Victor has pointed out, anything to do
directly with fonts is platform dependent, and you'll have to
ask specifically in a newsgroup for that platform. This
includes the question of how the font is encoded (ISO 8859-n,
JIS, various Unicode formats, etc.). After that, it's just a
simple for loop from the smallest encoding to the largest,
skipping illegal encodings, and probably non-printable
characters. Except, of course, that the number of characters
can be quite large: Unicode defines over a million, and I think
most far eastern encodings (e.g. JIS) will have tens of
thousands. So I'm not sure how you're going to list them all.
And while I'm at it: with ASCII (not ANSI) characters, the range
is 0-127, not 0-255, and characters in the range 0-31,127 are
control characters, with no printable representation (and which,
depending on the display device, may cause some other behavior).
Also: Arial is a font, but Arabic, Russian and Cyrillic aren't.
Arabic and Cyrillic are alphabets, and Arabic and Russian are
languages (and Russian is a nationality, and ...). I think you
probably need to learn a bit more about the domain first, before
you start even thinking about how to program the problem.
Although it may be more than you need, the absolute reference
here is, I think, "Fonts and Encodings", by Yannis Haralambous,
O'Reilly, ISBN 0-596-10242-9 (or 2-84177-273-X for the original
French). At the very least, skim over the introduction, and
read the first chapter (which deals with the numerous
pre-Unicode font encodings). (On the Web, Roman Czyborra has
one of the most informative sites I've seen, but I often have
problems accessing it.)
