CreateFontIndirect
The CreateFontIndirect
function creates a logical font that has the characteristics specified in the
specified structure. The font can subsequently be selected as the current font
for any device context.
HFONT CreateFontIndirect(
|
CONST LOGFONT *lplf |
// pointer to
logical font structure |
|
); |
|
Parameters
lplf
Points to a LOGFONT structure that defines the
characteristics of the logical font.
Return Values
If the
function succeeds, the return value is a handle to a logical font.
If the
function fails, the return value is NULL.
Remarks
The CreateFontIndirect
function creates a logical font with the characteristics specified in the LOGFONT
structure. When this font is selected by using the SelectObject
function, GDI s font mapper attempts to match the logical font with an existing
physical font. If it fails to find an exact match, it provides an alternative
whose characteristics match as many of the requested characteristics as
possible.
When you no longer
need the font, call the DeleteObject function to delete it.
