Question:
How can I tell if TrueType fonts are available on a given system?
Answer:
The following example will report if the TrueType engine is
available, enabled, and at least one TrueType font is installed:
//Prototypes in the form class:
private:
RASTERIZER_STATUS rs;
bool IsTrueTypeAvailable();
//Implementation
bool TForm1::IsTrueTypeAvailable()
{
memset(rs, NULL, sizeof(rs));
if(GetRasterizerCaps(&rs, sizeof(rs)) != true)
return false;
if((rs.wFlags & TT_AVAILABLE) != TT_AVAILABLE)
return false;
if((rs.wFlags & TT_ENABLED) != TT_ENABLED)
return false;
return true;
}
void __fastcall TForm1::Button1Click(TObject *Sender)
{
if(IsTrueTypeAvailable() == false)
ShowMessage("True Type Fonts are not available");
else
ShowMessage("True Type Fonts are available");
}
