(solved) Loading Font From File

Hi,
I have a Font file and want to create the font without installing it to the system...
I know how to create system fonts (with createFont(...)) but how would I go about loading/creating a (temporary) font from a file ???

system: Windows (XPpro)

maybe someone has a clue and can give me a code snippet !?!?!

thx. Acki

haha, I got it !!!
it's so easy...

Code: Select all

// load a font from file
AddFontResource("theFontFile.ttf");

// free memory from the loaded font
RemoveFontResource("theFontFile.ttf");
