: But I found no way to display BOLD fonts with a normal TTF-file.
: The fnWeight-member of CreateFont() should influence the "weight" of the
: resulting font, but it doesnt work...
Uwe -
Looks like a small amount of code will need to be written.
This is normally handled in mwin/winfont.c::CreateFontIndirect(),
where a 'b' is appended to the facename (just like Windows does).
I'm not sure what happens when this 'b' is appended to your
.ttf filename... ! (please investigate)
The .ttf handling continues in engine/devfont.c::GdCreateFont(),
where the PMWLOGFONT your application created is
passed. It looks like you'll need to create a new
MWTF_BOLD attribute and or it into the 'fontattr'
variable, like the lfUnderline handling. Then, in the
.ttf handler engine/font_freetype[2].c, you'll inspect
the attr parameter in freetype_createfont(), and
tell freetype to bold the font.
If you get this working, please send me a "diff -urN" patch.
Thanks!
Regards,
Greg
