PgSetFont(), PgSetFontCx()

Set the text font

Synopsis:

void PgSetFont( char const *ff );

void PgSetFontCx( PhGC_t *gc,
                  char const *ff );

Library:

ph

Description:

These functions set the font for text subsequently drawn with PgDrawText*() or PgDrawString*(). The ff argument is a pointer to a font identifier, which you should create by calling PfGenerateFontName().

PgSetFont() works on the current graphics context, while you can specify the graphics context gc for PgSetFontCx().

Examples:

char font_name[MAX_FONT_TAG];

// Use Helvetica, 12p, Normal:

if (PfGenerateFontName( "Helvetica", 0, 12,
                        font_name ) != NULL) {
   PgSetFont( font_name );
}

// Use Helvetica, 14p, Bold Italic:

if (PfGenerateFontName( "Helvetica",
                        PF_STYLE_BOLD | PF_STYLE_ITALIC,
                        14, font_name ) != NULL ) {
   PgSetFont( font_name );
}
