Hello everyone!
I just wanted to know how I can create a font from bitmaps in memory
(currently in an array), or from GDI+. I want to be able to use that
font in a textbox, for example.
I have searched a bit on msdn and google, but didn't find anything
useful. A hint or a link would be appreciated :)
Thank you all

You'll still need to create font files beforehand, but that shouldn't be
too difficult. There is a lot of font creation software out there these
days.

It's going to be hard to find documentation about creating fonts in
memory, on the fly. I'd try something simpler, like this: http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/GraphicFonts.asp
Instead of painting to a textbox, could you allow regular text entry to
a normal textbox, and paint the results to a label? This will let you do
that.

news:hc******** *************** *********@4ax.c om... Hmmm... the font I want to create is made from SNES Tiles taken from a
file. That means that the font can change anytime, whether by the
program, or by someone editing the file. What I want is to create the
font at startup, everytime the program is run.
I don't actually want to create the font on the HD; I just want to be
able to use it, at least with a textbox, then I dispose it when the
program ends. It doesn't have to be a "font", just something I can use
with my textboxes.
I would have tried GDI+ directly, but the textbox don't have a paint
method.
sorry if I was a bit ambiguous about what I wanted ^-^

I have a bunch of custom fonts installed on my system.
For instance if I look at the font drop-down in word pad
I see about 90 fonts, but if I build an app using VS.Net,
add a label, and try to change the font - I'm only given
a choice of about 20 - the "standard" fonts which are
installed with the OS (XP).
How can I get the rest of my fonts in this box?
Thanks.

this problem:
We designed a window in .NET on a platform using small fonts (120 ppp). But
this window will run on servers configured with large fonts. For a reason I
cant explain, not only the font changes when settings the window on large
font but all the widgets seem to be resized. This is kind of problematic
because I have to redraw (resize) all the widgets...

Hi,
I have installed a truetype font (.ttf) on a linux machne (SUSE linux
10, KDE) by copying it to my .fonts folder. I can use the font in all
applications like open-office and firefox browser.
However, I cannot use the font in a python app that I am writing. The
list returned by Tkfont.families does not contain this particular font.
Any suggestions ?

Hi all
Have a customer that wants a specific font included in her web page
design; Comic Sans MS. This is one of the MS core fonts. The problem
I have is that some of the *nix browsers do NOT include these fonts by
default.
http://www.diamondvet.com/test renders those fonts correctly using an
XP box. After I installed those fonts on my machine, firefox and
mozilla both rendered them correctly. So here is the question:

Hi,
I'm trying to migrate from Java to C# and have encountered a problem.
I can't seem to find a way to create (ultra)condensed fonts for later
use in a program. In Java I had a really nice method
some_font.deriveFont(AffineTransform), which would return a new font.
(AffineTransform was just a simple 3x3 matrix)
I'll be most grateful for the help.
