Yecch. Yes, this is ugly. TrueType font have several names, including a "full name" and a "PostScript name", where the PostScript name must be ASCII and usually has no spaces. I'm not sure I have an answer for this problem. In the worst case, I suppose you could do like GIMP does, and scan through %SystemRoot%\Fonts on your own. You could cache the information so you only checked files that had changed. The alternative is to go through the trouble of constructing a ctypes wrapper for GetOutlineTextMetrics. -- Tim Roberts, t...@probo.com Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. _______________________________________________ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
