Module: Fonts in Category Windows : Fonts from Total Visual SourceBook

Get the list of fonts installed on Windows, see if a font name is installed, and convert between points and height. Supports VB6 and VBA with 32 and 64-bit Windows API calls.

Procedure List

Procedure Name	Type	Description
(Declarations)	Declarations	Declarations and private variables for the modFonts module.
IsFontInstalled	Procedure	Determine if a font name is installed on the Windows Operating system.
GetFonts	Procedure	Enumerate the fonts installed on a system, returning the list of fonts in the array.
EnumFontFamProc	Procedure	This function should never be called directly by user code. It is used as a callback function for the Windows API EnumFontFamilies function. See the Windows SDK for more documentation on this procedure.
ConvertScale	Procedure	Converts between pixels, twips and points.
HeightToPoints	Procedure	Convert a font height to a font point size. The font height is measured in logical device units. Most windows API functions for dealing with fonts require the font height in logical units. This function only works correctly in the MM_TEXT mapping mode.
PointsToHeight	Procedure	Convert a font point size to a font height. The font height is measured in logical device units. Most windows API functions for dealing with fonts require the font height in logical units. This function only works correctly in the MM_TEXT mapping mode.

Example Code for Using Module: Fonts

  Dim intFont As Integer

  ' Get all fonts on the system
  If GetFonts(clngHandle, astrFonts()) Then
    ' Fill the list box with the enumerated fonts
    For intFont = LBound(astrFonts) To UBound(astrFonts)
      Debug.Print intFont, astrFonts(intFont)
    Next intFont

    Debug.Print
    Debug.Print "Is Calibri font installed: " & IsFontInstalled("Calibri")

    Debug.Print "16 pixels is " & ConvertScale(clngHandle, 16, cvscPixels, cvscpoints) & " points."
    Debug.Print "HeightToPoints(): 96 logical units is " & HeightToPoints(clngHandle, 96) & " points."
    Debug.Print "PointsToHeight(): 12 points is " & PointsToHeight(clngHandle, 12) & " logical units."
