Font Families
Windows organizes fonts by family; a family is a set of fonts having common stroke width and serif characteristics.
Windows categorizes families with five family names. A sixth name ("Dontcare")
allows an application to use the default font. The following table describes the
font-family names.
Font-family name
| Description
| Decorative
| Specifies a novelty font. An example is Old English.
| Dontcare
| Specifies a generic family name. This name is used when information about a
font does not exist or does not matter.
| Modern
| Specifies a monospace font with or without serifs. Monospace fonts are usually
modern; examples include Pica, Elite, and Courier New®.
| Roman
| Specifies a proportional font with serifs. An example is Times New Roman.
| Script
| Specifies a font that is designed to look like handwriting; examples include
Script and Cursive.
| Swiss
| Specifies a proportional font without serifs. An example is Arial.
|
These family names correspond to constants found in the WINGDI.H file:
FF_DECORATIVE, FF_DONTCARE, FF_MODERN, FF_ROMAN, FF_SCRIPT, and FF_SWISS. An
application uses these constants when it creates a font, selects a font, or retrieves
information about a font.
Fonts within a family are distinguished by size (10 point, 24 point, and so
on) and style (regular, italic, and so on).

Nostalgia .Net |

.Net is powerful, but not all-powerful, so sometimes we need to use Win32 API for our .Net applications. It's simple enough with Platform Invoke if you have Win32 skill, but we do not always have time to dig the ancient documentation, declare the special types that are compatible with Win32, find the values of the Win32's constants and so on. Nostalgia .Net offers several simple-to-use classes, and components that will allow you to forget about the headache of Win32 and just use the power of Win32 in your application the same way as you use the native. Net classes. More » |
