hi, The information about the font is stored in the follwing format: 1. LoByte (Point size for Font) 2. LoByte (Point size for Font) 3. LoByte(LoWord(Height)) 4. HiByte(LoWord(Height)) 5. LoByte(HiWord(Height)) 6. HiByte(HiWord(Height)) 7. LoByte(LoWord(Width)) 8. HiByte(LoWord(Width)) 9. LoByte(HiWord(Width)) 10. HiByte(HiWord(Width)) 11. LoByte(LoWord(Escapement)) 12. HiByte(LoWord(Escapement)) 13. LoByte(HiWord(Escapement)) 14. HiByte(HiWord(Escapement)) 15. LoByte(LoWord(Orientation)) 16. HiByte(LoWord(Orientation)) 17. LoByte(HiWord(Orientation)) 18. HiByte(HiWord(Orientation)) 19. LoByte(LoWord(Weight)) 20. HiByte(LoWord(Weight)) 21. LoByte(HiWord(Weight)) 22. HiByte(HiWord(Weight)) 23. Italic(byte) 24. Underline(byte) 25. StrikeOut(byte) 26. CharSet(byte) 27. OutPrecision(byte) 28. ClipPrecision(byte) 29. Quality (byte) 30. PitchAndFamily(byte) 31. Length of face name (L) For Length L following 2 bytes will be repeated 1. LoByte (character of face name) 2. HiByte (character of face name) Here the first inforation i.e.Point size for Font is the value which we get from the CFontDialog::GetSize() function and the rest of the information are the the parameters of the CFont::CreateFont( int nHeight, int nWidth, int nEscapement, int nOrientation, int nWeight, BYTE bItalic, BYTE bUnderline, BYTE cStrikeOut, BYTE nCharSet, BYTE nOutPrecision, BYTE nClipPrecision, BYTE nQuality, BYTE nPitchAndFamily, LPCTSTR lpszFacename ). I am not able to map all these parameters to their corresponding c# values and thus cant open the application developed using the previous version( MFC ) and see the fonts properly.Any suggetions??? -- modified at 4:33 Monday 13th February, 2006
