i don't know what tools you're using i'm
using CodeWarrior 6 and here's how i did it:
1.) download xFONT
2.) go through and create a font and save it, etc.
this part's not too tough. it will save as a
*.pfn file.
3.) downloaded the pilRC plugin for CodeWarrior from
aron ardiri's website. it takes a bit of navigation
but you should find it.
4.) install the plugin, pretty easy.
5.) then, make sure the *.pfn file is in one of your
folders for you project. i put it into my Rsc folder
6.) create a *.rcp file and include the line:
FONT 'FONT' FONTID 128 "*.pfn"
where * is whatever name you want
7.) cross your fingers and compile. it will generate a
*.r file which will have a number like this:
data 'NFNT' (20052) {...
8.) now to use it: i use it before a field like
this:
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
VoidHand fontHandle;
FontPtr font;
FieldPtr pField;
int nFieldIndex;
int nLength;
// get a handle on the font resource, the number in
// the second parameter is the number that is
generated
// by the pilrc compiler, and it is located in the
// *.r file. The number represents the ID of the
// font
fontHandle = DmGetResource('NFNT', 20052 );
// lock the handle
font = MemHandleLock ( fontHandle );
// define our font, the first parameter
"fntAppFontCustomBase"
// is the value 128 = 0x80, which represents the
number we chose
// to define our font ID as; look in the *.rcp file
for
// the value 128; to locate "fntAppFontCustomBase"
look in the
// Metrowerks Font.h header file
FntDefineFont ( fntAppFontCustomBase, font );
// unlock our handle after the font has been
defined
MemHandleUnlock ( fontHandle );
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
9.) i think that's it if i didn't miss anything.
if you don't have CodeWarrior, you can search the
forum and find something related. there's lots of stuff you just
have to piece the threads together like a puzzle.
bon chance!
