Draw a text to an off-screen window and scale it.

I would like to have scaling as a part of system,
but it doesn't look like it's there.

In 3.5 you can use WndGetPixel + WinDrawPixel
In pre 3.5 this is a bit complex, but also achievable.

Subject: Large Custom Fonts


Hi.
I'm a bit of a newbie when it comes to PalmOS - as in I'm new to writing
apps for it.
As a result, thus might well be obvious to more seasoned developers.

I'm trying to display numbers in large fonts on a form at varying positions,
but I'm not too sure the best way to go about it.
By large I mean numbers with a height of 20 to 75 pixels.
I've looked at FntDefineFont but the FontPtr structure doesn't look very
future proof.
Is there any specific way to draw numbers in large fonts (other than using
bitmaps) directly to a window.
Thanks.

Laurence Mee.
