CreateFontIndirect
The CreateFontIndirect function creates a logical font that has the characteristics specified in the
specified structure. The font can subsequently be selected as the current font
for any device context.
HFONT CreateFontIndirect(
CONST LOGFONT *lplf
| // pointer to logical font structure
| );
|
|
Parameters
lplf
Points to a LOGFONT structure that defines the characteristics of the logical font.
Return Values
If the function succeeds, the return value is a handle to a logical font.
If the function fails, the return value is NULL.
Remarks
The CreateFontIndirect function creates a logical font with the characteristics specified in the LOGFONT structure. When this font is selected by using the SelectObject function, GDI's font mapper attempts to match the logical font with an
existing physical font. If it fails to find an exact match, it provides an
alternative whose characteristics match as many of the requested characteristics as
possible.
When you no longer need the font, call the DeleteObject function to delete it.
