Hi

I m trying to draw two different fonts such as Arial & Impact in my application.

but its drawing only the Arial font, its not drawing the Impact font.

can any one help me out

this is the code

//CustomFOnt ARIAL
CFont* iFont;
TInt iFontUid;
CEikonEnv::Static()->ScreenDevice()->AddFile(_L("\\system\\apps\\arial.gdr"),
iFontUid);

const CFont* logical_font =
AknLayoutUtils::FontFromId(EAknLogicalFontSecondaryFont);

TFontSpec font_spec = logical_font->FontSpecInTwips();
TFontSpec myFontSpec(_L("Arial"),font_spec.iHeight);

CEikonEnv::Static()->ScreenDevice()->GetNearestFontToDesignHeightInTwips(iFont,
myFontSpec);
// Using the custom font & drawing some sample text.
gc.UseFont(iFont);
const TPoint point(10,20);
gc.DrawText(_L("Hi Hello how r u?"), point);



// unloading the custom font

CEikonEnv::Static()->ScreenDevice()->ReleaseFont(iFont);
CEikonEnv::Static()->ScreenDevice()->RemoveFile(iFontUid);






//CustomFOnt Impact

CFont* iFont1;
TInt iFontUid1;
CEikonEnv::Static()->ScreenDevice()->AddFile(_L("\\system\\apps\\impact.gdr"),
iFontUid1);

const CFont* logical_font1 =
AknLayoutUtils::FontFromId(EAknLogicalFontSecondaryFont);

TFontSpec font_spec1 = logical_font1->FontSpecInTwips();
TFontSpec myFontSpec1(_L("Impact"),font_spec1.iHeight-15);

CEikonEnv::Static()->ScreenDevice()->GetNearestFontToDesignHeightInTwips(iFont1,
myFontSpec1);
// Using the custom font & drawing some sample text.
gc.UseFont(iFont1);
const TPoint point1(10,60);
gc.DrawText(_L("Hi Hello how r u?"), point1);

even if it doesn't solve your problem, it is important to do this else it will result in mem-leak !

my font shows in emulator and not on n73, anyone knows about this? its strange, used getNearestFontInTwips()

[anglina]

its simple, the font you are using is not present in device.. try to use native fonts.
