The GetFontData function retrieves font metric data for a TrueType font.
DWORD GetFontData(
HDC hdc, |
// handle of device context |
DWORD dwTable, |
// metric table to query |
DWORD dwOffset, |
// offset into table being queried |
LPVOID lpvBuffer, |
// address of buffer for returned data |
DWORD cbData |
// length of data to query |
); |
If the function succeeds, the return value is the number of bytes returned.
If the function fails, the return value is GDI_ERROR. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.
An application can sometimes use the GetFontData function to save a TrueType font with a document. To do this, the application determines whether the font can be embedded by checking the otmfsType member of the OUTLINETEXTMETRIC structure. If bit 1 of otmfsType is set, embedding is not permitted for the font. If bit 1 is clear, the font can be embedded. If bit 2 is set, the embedding is read-only. If embedding is permitted, the application can retrieve the entire font file, specifying zero for the dwTable, dwOffset, and cbData parameters.
If an application attempts to use this function to retrieve information for a non-TrueType font, an error occurs.
