Hi, I have an issue with directx rendered fonts on a Windows system. This is caused when trying to use fonts, that I have only installed using the regfont (https://github.com/dcpurton/regfont/) tool as an unprivileged user because I don't have the rights to correctly install the fonts sysstemwide. In this case, no fonts are rendered and all text vanishes from gvim.
After having checked with the author from regfont¹ it seems, the problem is, that CreateFontFromLOGFONT does not work with fonts, that have been added with AddFontRessource. In that case, an error should be reported rather than trying to use an invalid font. I would have created a proper patch, but don't know Windows API very well, but I'd like to mention the issue here. I hope the details from the issue contain enough information to properly fix this issue. ¹https://github.com/dcpurton/regfont/issues/1 Best, Christian -- Es ist geglückt, das Gen für die Schüchternheit zu finden.
