Re: Problem with fonts under NT

The file in question - objects-msw.c - didn't change from .66 to .67. For starters: 1. Check the changes. The diff between the two files is thus: $ diff objects-msw.c.modified objects-msw.c.orig 756d755 < {"Default" , DEFAULT_CHARSET}, 986c985 < strcat (fontname, charset_map[0].name); --- 2. Evaluate (list-fonts "") Do you see the 6x13 fonts listed in the result? Are you using the exact string lists there to specify the font? 3. Try running the attached program (ntfonts.c) to see if NT knows about the font. I compile it with Visual C++ using: cl ntfonts.c gdi32.lib It gives me the following results for 6x13: Font: 6x13_0 Style: Script: Unknown lfHeight: 13 lfWidth: 6 lfEscapement: 0 lfOrientation: 0 lfWeight: 400 lfItalic: 0 lfUnderline: 0 lfStrikeOut: 0 lfCharSet: 44 lfOutPrecision: 1 lfClipPrecision: 2 lfQuality: 1 lfPitchAndFamily: 81 lfFaceName: 6x13_0 Font: 6x13b_0 Style: Script: Unknown lfHeight: 13 lfWidth: 6 lfEscapement: 0 lfOrientation: 0 lfWeight: 400 lfItalic: 0 lfUnderline: 0 lfStrikeOut: 0 lfCharSet: 44 lfOutPrecision: 1 lfClipPrecision: 2 lfQuality: 1 lfPitchAndFamily: 81 lfFaceName: 6x13b_0 How does that compare with yours? 4. Try running the attached program (ntpixels.c). I compile it with Visual C++ using: cl ntpixels.c gdi32.lib It gives me: Horizontal pixels per inch: 96 Vertical pixels per inch: 96 There's a coincidence here that makes this work. The 6x13 font is height 13 (see above). At 96 pixels/inch, this is a point size of 13x72/96, which gives 10 when rounded to the nearest integer. 10 happens to be the default point size chosen by mswindows_initialize_font_instance() if it can't determine the real one. If you get different results, try using these strings to specify the fonts: "6x13_0:Regular:10::Default" "6x13b_0:Regular:10::Default" 5. Is the 6x13 font you're using the Reflection X one? If not, mail me the file you use and I'll poke around. David
