Finding the charset of a font?

[Yraen]

Hello,

I've searched here and google but I don't seem to be able to find a way to get the charset of a font the user selects. I need to pass the charset of the selected font to another programs command line. Anyone have any tips?

Maybe a little more detail will help. I'm using _ChooseFont to allow the user to change the font, passed to another program through a command-line argument, and this program wants to know the charset of the font. Right now I'm just passing DEFAULT_CHARSET and hoping it works for every possible font. I would like to be able to pass the right charset though. Any tips anyone?

You may be able to use COM objects to analyze the properties of a font and return the charset. I did some Googling and didn't find much... If you are unfamiliar with COM objects, there is a bit of information in the help file; however, searching for COM objects on the forums is probably going to yield more examples.
