About creating a font using a path in the facename.

[Jajjo]

Hey there,

I'm just wondering if it is possible to specify a path to a font, as opposed to just the font name itself.

For example:

    m_FontDesc.Height             = _iHeight;
    m_FontDesc.Width             = _iWidth;
    m_FontDesc.Weight             = _iWeight;
    m_FontDesc.MipLevels         = _iMipLevels;
    m_FontDesc.Italic             = _bItalic;
    m_FontDesc.CharSet             = 0;
    m_FontDesc.PitchAndFamily    = 0;
    m_FontDesc.Quality             = 0;
    m_FontDesc.OutputPrecision   = 0;

   [B] wcscpy_s(m_FontDesc.FaceName, "/Fonts/Showcard Gothic");[/B]

instead of this

    m_FontDesc.Height             = _iHeight;
    m_FontDesc.Width             = _iWidth;
    m_FontDesc.Weight             = _iWeight;
    m_FontDesc.MipLevels         = _iMipLevels;
    m_FontDesc.Italic             = _bItalic;
    m_FontDesc.CharSet             = 0;
    m_FontDesc.PitchAndFamily    = 0;
    m_FontDesc.Quality             = 0;
    m_FontDesc.OutputPrecision   = 0;

   [B] wcscpy_s(m_FontDesc.FaceName, "Showcard Gothic");[/B]

This post was taken from another site. It frames my needs exactly, so I pilfered it.

And ideas on how to do this?

Thank you for your time :)
