Changing fonts again.
in [MFC]

From: Eddards on 14 Mar 2010 10:24 Can someone help me with a font problem? In the code below I am trying to set the font for the c_info text variable. Whether I use FF_SWISS or FF_SCRIPT or any other the displayed text is allways the same. Changing the height, width, weight, italic... all work and do change the displayed text. How do I change the actual font used? Like to Courier, Times, Script, or any other font available. In the .h file under I have: protected: CFont InfoFont; BOOL CEcolorDlg::OnInitDialog() { CDialog::OnInitDialog(); ASSERT((IDM_ABOUTBOX & 0xFFF0) == IDM_ABOUTBOX); ASSERT(IDM_ABOUTBOX < 0xF000); CMenu* pSysMenu = GetSystemMenu(FALSE); if (pSysMenu != NULL) { CString strAboutMenu; strAboutMenu.LoadString(IDS_ABOUTBOX); if (!strAboutMenu.IsEmpty()) { pSysMenu->AppendMenu(MF_SEPARATOR); pSysMenu->AppendMenu(MF_STRING, IDM_ABOUTBOX, strAboutMenu); } } SetIcon(m_hIcon, TRUE); // Set big icon SetIcon(m_hIcon, FALSE); // Set small icon LOGFONT lf; lf.lfHeight = 15; lf.lfWidth = 5; lf.lfEscapement = 0; lf.lfOrientation = 0; lf.lfWeight = FW_NORMAL; lf.lfItalic = FALSE; lf.lfUnderline = FALSE; lf.lfStrikeOut = FALSE; lf.lfCharSet = DEFAULT_CHARSET; lf.lfOutPrecision = OUT_STROKE_PRECIS; lf.lfClipPrecision = CLIP_DEFAULT_PRECIS; lf.lfQuality = PROOF_QUALITY; // lf.lfPitchAndFamily = VARIABLE_PITCH | FF_SWISS; lf.lfPitchAndFamily = VARIABLE_PITCH | FF_SCRIPT; _tcscpy(lf.lfFaceName, _T("Arial")); InfoFont.CreateFontIndirect(&lf); c_info.SetFont(&InfoFont); //c_info is the static text variable c_info.SetWindowText("System Ready"); //The rest of my initialization here return TRUE; } Thanks, Ed

I wouldn't recommend specifying the width either - in fact leave everything you don't need to specify as the default (0). Dave

Yes - I forget the priorities if the different elements of the LOGFONT conflict, but I do remember that they're highly counter-intuitive: for example the most precise spec, the face name itself, doesn't IIRC get the highest priority.

From: Joseph M. Newcomer on 15 Mar 2010 19:34 The face name, which SHOULD be the most impoirtant parameter, is not, and as already observed, the width should be set to 0. joe On Mon, 15 Mar 2010 00:24:29 -0000, "David Webber" <dave(a)musical-dot-demon-dot-co.uk> wrote: > > >"David Lowndes" <DavidL(a)example.invalid> wrote in message >news:4e2qp55vdciv04k6fefr4sbrdt9urrrnrs(a)4ax.com... > >> Try using FF_DONTCARE.

Thanks all, got it working. Where can I get a list of FaceNames available? I have searched the web and cant find a list. I am still using VC6 Ed "Joseph M.
