  • AddFontResource
    This function adds the font resource from the specified file to the Windows font table. The font can subsequently be used for text output by any Windows Embedded Compact-based application.
  • CreateFontIndirect
    This function creates a logical font that has the characteristics specified in the specified structure. An application can subsequently select the font as the current font for any device context (DC).
  • DrawText
    This function draws formatted text in the specified rectangle. DrawText formats the text according to the specified format method.
  • DrvTextOut
    Calls for the driver to render a set of glyphs at specified positions.
  • EnableEUDC
    This function enables or disables end-user-defined characters (EUDC).
  • EnumFontFamilies
    This function enumerates the fonts in a specified font family that are available on a specified device. This function supersedes the EnumFonts function.
  • EnumFontFamProc
    This function is an application-defined callback function that retrieves data that describes the available fonts.
  • EnumFonts
    This function enumerates the fonts available on a specified device. This function is provided for compatibility with early versions of the Windows SDK. Whenever possible, applications should use the EnumFontFamilies function.
  • EnumFontsProc
    This function is an application-defined callback function that processes font data from the EnumFonts function.
  • ExtTextOut
    This function draws a character string by using the currently selected font. You can provide an optional rectangle that ExtTextOut can use for clipping, opaquing, or both.
  • FDDESTROYFONT
    Notifies the driver that a font realization is no longer needed and that the driver can now free any associated data structures it has allocated.
  • FDLOADFONTFILE
    Receives information from GDI relating to loading and mapping font files.
  • FDUNLOADFONTFILE
    Informs a font driver that a specified font file is no longer needed.
  • GetCharABCWidths
    This function retrieves the widths, in logical units, of consecutive characters in a specified range from the current TrueType font. This function succeeds only with TrueType fonts.
  • GetCharABCWidthsI
    The GetCharABCWidthsI function retrieves the widths, in logical units, of consecutive glyph indices in a specified range from the current TrueType font. This function succeeds only with TrueType fonts.
  • GetCharWidth32
    This function retrieves the widths, in logical coordinates, of consecutive characters in a specified range from the current font.
  • GetTextAlign
    This function retrieves the text-alignment setting for the specified device context.
  • GetTextColor
    This function retrieves the current text color for the specified device context.
  • GetTextExtentExPoint
    This function retrieves the number of characters in a specified string that fit within a specified space and fills an array with the text extent for each of those characters. A text extent is the distance between the beginning of the space and a character that fits in the space.
  • GetTextExtentPoint
    This function computes the width and height of the specified string of text.
  • GetTextFace
    This function retrieves the typeface name of the font that is selected into the specified device context (DC).
  • GetTextMetrics
    This function fills the specified buffer with the metrics for the currently selected font.
  • RemoveFontResource
    This function removes the fonts in the specified file from the Windows Embedded Compact font table.
