SendMessage, fonts

[2G]

Hi everybody

I think i'm doing something wrong .

When I install a new font, all my programs (like photoshop) that are running
don't respond anymore for like 2 min, after that I can use the font whitout
restarting the applications but I can not delete the font untill i reboot my
pc (i tried killing all processes but that didn't work).

If anyone would take a look , I do the following :

[DllImport("user32.dll", CharSet=CharSet.Auto)] static extern IntPtr
SendMessage(IntPtr hwnd, int msg, int wParam, int lParam);



private const int HWND_BROADCAST = 0xffff;

private const int WM_FONTCHANGE = 0x001D;



private void cmdInstall_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e){

clsFontFamily f = (clsFontFamily)cboFonts.SelectedItem;

string n = f.Path.Substring(f.Path.LastIndexOf("\\")+1);

File.Copy(f.Path, iPath + "\\" + n, false);

SendMessage((System.IntPtr)HWND_BROADCAST, WM_FONTCHANGE, 0, 0);

int i = AddFontResource(iPath + "\\" + n);

}



Thx in advance.

Hi 2G,
Probably you should notify after adding the font to the fornt resource pool.
Have you tried to change places of SendMessage and AddFontResource calls.

Yep, did that but with the same result.

Grtz.
