How to create the special font?

[Peter King]

Hi,All:
I want to create a special korean font in my CE OS. What should I do in Win
CE?Is the font in CE the same as in Windows XP?
Thanks.
Peter

Maybe. CE supports TrueType fonts, generally, depending on the version of
CE, which you haven't told us. Fonts are found in the \Windows folder and
the \Windows\Fonts folder on the CE device and can be created
(CreateFontIndirect(), for example), from there.

Most XP fonts will work in CE, but remember that you are *not* licensed to
just copy a font from your XP device to CE and go from there. That would be
stealing the font...

Hi,Paul:

If there is a font in windows\fonts\ called gulim.ttf ,how do I use it by
C#.
Thanks

Should the font be installed?

You'd have to know what the font name in that file is. It might be Gulim,
in which case, you'd use one of the Font class constructors to build a Font
object using that font name.

As to your other question, "Should the font be installed?", I'm not clear on
what you're asking. You don't have to do anything other than copy the font
to the right place and, at most, reboot the device (a soft reboot should be
fine on PPC). If you mean, is there a Korean font installed, no there isn't
going to be a Korean font installed, as that would be a collossal waste of
space on an English device.

For installing the special Font, you can import the fonction
AddFontResource from the WINCE API in your C# application.
