How to get the name of the used font

[chrishawaii]

Hi everybody,

I want to get the fontype of a label. my sourcecode:

......

iLabel = new (ELeave) CEikLabel;
iLabel -> SetContainerWindowL(*this);
iLabel -> SetTextL( _L("Example Text"));

const CFont * font;
font = iLabel -> Font();

/*** according to the class reference of symbian this creates a new object called font with the attributes of the class CFont.
Furthermore this new object contains the font-attributes of the label iLabel.
I wanted to print the name of the used font.
****/

//the question marks are for the unknown method
//which get-method gives me the name of the font?
//the result type has to be a char (i think)

TText font_var = font.???;

//create a buffer to fill with the name of the font:

TBuf16<16> font_buffer(font_var);
TPtrC font_zeiger;
font_zeiger.Set(font_buffer);

//create a new label for printing the name of the font:

fontLabel = new (ELeave) CEikLabel;
fontLabel -> SetContainerWindowL(*this);
fontLabel -> SetTextL( _L(font_zeiger));

......
