check this code may be helpful

CFont* editorFont = NULL;
TFontSpec* fontSpec = NULL;
fontSpec = new TFontSpec(_L("LatinPlain12"), 7);
editorFont = CCoeEnv::Static()->CreateScreenFontL(*fontSpec);
CCharFormatLayer* FormatLayer=CEikonEnv::NewDefaultCharFormatLayerL();
TCharFormat charFormat;
TCharFormatMask charFormatMask;
FormatLayer->Sense(charFormat, charFormatMask);
charFormat.iFontPresentation.iTextColor=KRgbBlack;

// charFormat.iFontSpec = editorFont->FontSpecInTwips();
// charFormatMask.SetAttrib(EAttColor);

charFormatMask.SetAttrib(EAttFontHeight);
charFormat.iFontSpec.iHeight = 150;
FormatLayer->SetL(charFormat, charFormatMask);
// contol->SetCharFormatLayer(FormatLayer);
CRichText* text = iNameEd->RichText();
text->ApplyCharFormatL(charFormat,charFormatMask,0,1);
// control->ApplyCharFormatL(charFormat, charFormatMask);
delete fontSpec;

Thank u

do we need to use .gdr file ?

& can we draw more than one type of font like ARIAL, IMPACT etc in the same screen using ur code ?

bcoz i tried with custom font example present in this forum, but when i try to draw more than one type of font its not drawing the different fonts , its drawing only one type of font.

plz clarify

Thanks
Hidayath.

#include <gdi.h>
#include <txtfmlyr.h>
#include <txtfrmat.h>
#include <txtrich.h>
#include <gulfont.hrh>
Check these these header files and corresponding lib. Keep trying with diffrent fonts.

Cheers

Hi

I have included those header files.

it says iNameEd is undefined identifier

i hope u have defined this for ur own purpose of coding.

i tried commenting some part & adding new part of code in the code u have given to me

updated code is this

CFont* editorFont = NULL;
TFontSpec* fontSpec = NULL;
fontSpec = new TFontSpec(_L("LatinPlain12"), 100);
editorFont = CCoeEnv::Static()->CreateScreenFontL(*fontSpec);
gc.UseFont(editorFont);
const TPoint point(10,20);
gc.DrawText(_L("Hi Hello how r u?"), point);
gc.DiscardFont();
delete fontSpec;

i have drawn different fonts as well

//Arial font
fontSpec = new TFontSpec(_L("Arial"), 100);
editorFont = CCoeEnv::Static()->CreateScreenFontL(*fontSpec);
gc.UseFont(editorFont);
const TPoint point1(10,40);
gc.DrawText(_L("Hi Hello how r u?"), point1);
gc.DiscardFont();
delete fontSpec;

//Impact font
fontSpec = new TFontSpec(_L("Impact"), 100);
editorFont = CCoeEnv::Static()->CreateScreenFontL(*fontSpec);
gc.UseFont(editorFont);
const TPoint point2(10,60);
gc.DrawText(_L("Hi Hello how r u?"), point2);
gc.DiscardFont();
delete fontSpec;


But it wont looks like much difference between each font types.

bcoz when we open the fonts file present in our system at location C:\WINDOWS\Fonts\

we can able to clearly distinguish between each of the font types

but when i tried drawing using the above code in the screen , not able to distinguish between each of the font types

all are looking alike, meant to say each font type style shud be different right.

can u give me any suggestions plz

Whether if we draw in TextEditor whether it will make any difference ?

plz check my code & right now i m getting one panic when i exit the application

panic is :-------> CTypefaceStore -14

Thanks
Hidayath.

oop's it's edit control ptr object.like this CEikRichTextEditor* iNameEd;
Bye the Way where your display the font inside control?

cheers

[marvik_34]

check this directory C:\Symbian\9.1\S60_3rd_MR\Epoc32\release\winscw\udeb\z\resource\fonts
Will find the avilable font.

Thanks a LOt!!!!!!!!!!!

Finally i m able to make the difference in the different types of font in emulator itself

thanks a lot once again

i m keeping all the font files in the location u said.

this is the code snippet

_LIT(KFont2,"Series 60 Hindi SemiBold");
TBufC<sizeof(KFont2)> bufc1(KFont2);
fontSpec = new TFontSpec(bufc1, 100);
editorFont = CCoeEnv::Static()->CreateScreenFontL(*fontSpec);
gc.UseFont(editorFont);
const TPoint point1(10,40);
gc.DrawText(_L("Hi Hello how r u?"), point1);
//gc.DiscardFont(iFont);
gc.DiscardFont();
// control->ApplyCharFormatL(charFormat, charFormatMask);
delete fontSpec;
