AddFontResource

[nodrugs15]

Hi,

I have a problem with fonts. I'd like to use a custom font which is not originally in windows.

The function I need for this is called AddFontResource from the gdi32 dll.

I'm trying and fail most of the times. (Yes sometimes it works, and a rerun later it doesn't)

There is one thing to say: Later in the script there is opened a child window with an transparent image.

Later both windows (The main and the image) are viewed.

Here is the code of the main window

     ; view window
     GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $gc2tr)
     GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $pic)
while 1
; get pressed button
$msg  = guigetmsg()
select
  ; window is closed
  case $msg  = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
   ; ask to close
   $close  = msgbox(4, "Really quit?", "Are you sure you want to close Go Cops!?")
   ; if pressed yes then close Go Cops!
   if $close = 6 then Exit
; New game button is pressed
  case $msg  = $new
       ; start new game
       new()
  ; Open saved game button is pressed
  case $msg  = $save
       ; open window for selection of new game
       save()
  ; Open manager button is pressed
  case $msg  = $manager
       ; open manager
       manager()
EndSelect
wend

And this the file where the fonts are loaded

dircreate(@AppDataDir & "Go Cops!fonts")
dircreate(@AppDataDir & "Go Cops!images")

Did you search the forum for e.g. "AddFontResource"? There are numerous threads about the subject e.g.

I'm still wondering which font name i should use!

For some reason I'm not able to view the font! It stays the default one.

Is it the filename ("Nobile_bold.ttf") or the font name ("Nobile")

I assume "Nobile_bold".

I guess the problem is somewhere else!

I tried another font and it worked!

I also tried to load the nobile font in Notepad, which failed. The other font succeed.

Conclusion: The problem has nothing to do with AutoIt but with the font which was corrupted.
