Parsix Posted Monday at 09:49 PM Posted Monday at 09:49 PM How to Read Font Title from File Property ?
WildByDesign Posted Monday at 10:17 PM Posted Monday at 10:17 PM I only had to use this once before but you need _WinAPI_GetFontResourceInfo() to read font name directly from a font file properties. Example: #include <WinAPIGdi.au3> Example() Func Example() Local $sFile = "C:\Windows\Fonts\segoeui.ttf" ConsoleWrite(_WinAPI_GetFontResourceInfo($sFile, True) & @CRLF) ConsoleWrite(@CRLF) FontGetInfoFromFile($sFile, 0, "Copyright") FontGetInfoFromFile($sFile, 1, "Font Family name") FontGetInfoFromFile($sFile, 2, "Font SubFamily name") FontGetInfoFromFile($sFile, 3, "Unique font identifier") FontGetInfoFromFile($sFile, 4, "Font full name") FontGetInfoFromFile($sFile, 5, "Version string") FontGetInfoFromFile($sFile, 6, "Postscript name") FontGetInfoFromFile($sFile, 7, "Trademark") FontGetInfoFromFile($sFile, 8, "Manufacturer Name") FontGetInfoFromFile($sFile, 9, "Designer") FontGetInfoFromFile($sFile, 10, "Description") FontGetInfoFromFile($sFile, 11, "URL Vendor") FontGetInfoFromFile($sFile, 16, "Preferred Family (Windows only)") FontGetInfoFromFile($sFile, 17, "Preferred SubFamily (Windows only)") FontGetInfoFromFile($sFile, 18, "Compatible Full (Mac OS only)") FontGetInfoFromFile($sFile, 19, "Sample text") FontGetInfoFromFile($sFile, 20, "PostScript CID findfont name") FontGetInfoFromFile($sFile, 256, "Font-specific names") EndFunc ;==>Example Func FontGetInfoFromFile($sFile, $n, $sElement) Local $s = _WinAPI_GetFontResourceInfo($sFile, Default, $n) If Not @error And $s Then ConsoleWrite($sElement & " = " & $s & @CRLF) EndFunc ;==>FontGetInfoFromFile ioa747 and Parsix 1 1

WildByDesign Posted Tuesday at 10:59 AM Posted Tuesday at 10:59 AM The following script, shared by @BrewManNH and has a few authors listed in the script, can get the Title from a font file. But what I've noticed is that it will not get the Title when it's located in C:\Windows\Fonts directory. If you check the same font in any other directory, it shows the Title. I even tried adding #RequireAdmin hoping that it would work there but it does not. So this script will work for you as long as it's not within C:\Windows\Fonts I've adapted the script to copy the file from C:\Windows\Fonts to a Temp folder if folder (if it's located in C:\Windows\Fonts) expandcollapse popup#include <FileConstants.au3> #include <File.au3> Global $sFontLocation = "C:\Windows\Fonts\MonaspaceNeon-Italic.otf" Global $sDrive = "", $sDir = "", $sFileName = "", $sExtension = "" Global $aPathSplit = _PathSplit($sFontLocation, $sDrive, $sDir, $sFileName, $sExtension) If StringInStr($sFontLocation, "C:\Windows\Fonts") Then FileCopy($sFontLocation, @TempDir & "\" & $aPathSplit[3] & $aPathSplit[4], $FC_OVERWRITE) $sFontLocation = @TempDir & "\" & $aPathSplit[3] & $aPathSplit[4] EndIf Global $sTitle = _FileGetProperty($sFontLocation, "Title") ConsoleWrite("Font Title: " & $sTitle & @CRLF) ;=============================================================================== ; Function Name.....: _FileGetProperty ; Description.......: Returns a property or all properties for a file. ; Version...........: 1.0.2 ; Change Date.......: 05-16-2012 ; AutoIt Version....: 3.2.12.1+ ; Parameter(s)......: $FGP_Path - String containing the file path to return the property from. ; $FGP_PROPERTY - [optional] String containing the name of the property to return.
