FT_New_Face_From_FOND


  FT_EXPORT( FT_Error )
  FT_New_Face_From_FOND( FT_Library  library,
                         Handle      fond,
                         FT_Long     face_index,
                         FT_Face    *aface );

Creates a new face object from an FOND resource.

inout

input

fond	An FOND resource.
face_index	Only supported for the -1 `sanity check' special case.

output

aface

A handle to a new face object.

return

FreeType error code. 0 means success.

notes

This function can be used to create FT_Face abjects from fonts that are installed in the system like so:

  fond = GetResource( 'FOND', fontName );                          
  error = FT_New_Face_From_FOND( library, fond, 0, &face );

FT_GetFile_From_Mac_Name


  FT_EXPORT( FT_Error )
  FT_GetFile_From_Mac_Name( const char*  fontName, 
                            FSSpec*      pathSpec,
                            FT_Long*     face_index );

Returns an FSSpec for the disk file containing the named font.

input

fontName

Mac OS name of the font (eg. Times New Roman Bold).

output

pathSpec	FSSpec to the file. For passing to FT_New_Face.
face_index	Index of the face. For passing to FT_New_Face.

return

FreeType error code. 0 means success.

FT_New_Face_From_FSSpec


  FT_EXPORT( FT_Error )
  FT_New_Face_From_FSSpec( FT_Library     library,
                           const FSSpec  *spec,
                           FT_Long        face_index,
                           FT_Face       *aface );

Creates a new face object from a given resource and typeface index using an FSSpec to the font file.

inout

library

A handle to the library resource.

input

spec	FSSpec to the font file.
face_index	The index of the face within the resource. The first face has index 0.

output

note

FT_New_Face_From_FSSpec is identical to FT_New_Face except it accepts an FSSpec instead of a path.
