Create font style

[cadd4la]

Hello,

I need some help fixing this code, it will work fine if it's a .shx font but if it's a .ttf file it can't find the file.

(COMMAND "STYLE" "Maven Pro Medium1_3_32" "MavenPro-Medium.ttf" "0.09375" "1.0" "" "" "" "")

Thanks,

Cadd4la

Has the Maven Pro Medium font been installed? It's not part of the huge selection of fonts installed with Windows.
Tried you code with "calibri.ttf" and it worked fine after removing the extra "" at the end.

(COMMAND "STYLE" "Calibri.ttf" "calibri.ttf" "0.09375" "1.0" "" "" "")

Generally fonts installed in Windows don't use capital letters either.

Have you tried the findfile function to look in the "Fonts" sub-folder of the system root folder? You can find the system root by retrieving the environment variable "SystemRoot" using the getenv function. Of course, you would need to concatenate all of those strings together using the strcat function before supplying it to the findfile function.

With TTF you should load manually and check the two variables name and actual name have a look at Arial with its different styles. Arial Black = Ariblk.ttf

It may not make any difference but checking properties Arial Black = ariblk.ttf.
All the TTF's I've checked were all lower case.
