Font class (gdiplusheaders.h)
The Font class encapsulates the characteristics, such as family, height, size, and style (or combination of styles), of a specific font. A Font object is used when drawing strings.
Inheritance
The Font class implements GdiplusBase.
Methods
The Font class has these methods.
| Font::Clone The Font::Clone method creates a new Font object based on this Font object. |
| Font::Font This topic lists the constructors of the Font class. For a complete class listing, see Font Class. (overload 1/2) |
| Font::Font Creates a Font::Font object based on a FontFamily object, a size, a font style, and a unit of measurement. |
| Font::Font Creates a Font::Font object based on a font family, a size, a font style, a unit of measurement, and a FontCollection object. |
| Font::Font This topic lists the constructors of the Font class. For a complete class listing, see Font Class. (overload 2/2) |
| Font::Font Creates a Font::Font object based on the Windows Graphics Device Interface (GDI) font object that is currently selected into a specified device context. This constructor is provided for compatibility with GDI. |
| Font::Font Creates a Font::Font object indirectly from a Windows Graphics Device Interface (GDI) logical font by using a handle to a GDILOGFONT structure. |
| Font::Font Creates a Font::Font object directly from a Windows Graphics Device Interface (GDI) logical font. (overload 2/2) |
| Font::Font Creates a Font::Font object directly from a Windows Graphics Device Interface (GDI) logical font. (overload 1/2) |
| Font::GetFamily The Font::GetFamily method gets the font family on which this font is based. |
| Font::GetHeight The Font::GetHeight method gets the line spacing of this font in the current unit of a specified Graphics object. |
| Font::GetHeight The Font::GetHeight method gets the line spacing, in pixels, of this font. |
| Font::GetLastStatus The Font::GetLastStatus method returns a value that indicates the nature of this Font object's most recent method failure. |
| Font::GetLogFontA The Font::GetLogFontA method uses a LOGFONTA structure to get the attributes of this Font object. |
| Font::GetLogFontW The Font::GetLogFontW method uses a LOGFONTW structure to get the attributes of this Font object. |
| Font::GetSize The Font::GetSize method returns the font size (commonly called the em size) of this Font object. The size is in the units of this Font object. |
| Font::GetStyle The Font::GetStyle method gets the style of this font's typeface. |
| Font::GetUnit The Font::GetUnit method returns the unit of measure of this Font object. |
| Font::IsAvailable The Font::IsAvailable method determines whether this Font object was created successfully. |
Remarks
When using GDI+ API, you must never allow your application to download arbitrary fonts from untrusted sources. The operating system requires elevated privileges to assure that all installed fonts are trusted.
