Excellent! Thanks for the reply, Greg. Using the HZXFONT setting, I have
been able to display some Chinese characters! Of course, I have no idea
what they are. :-)
A few more questions:
1. What is the difference between the HZXFONT and the HZKFONT? When I
used HZK, I didn't get any characters although I probably guessed wrong on
the Unicode values.
2. Are the Chinese and other Asian fonts scalable? If not, what are the
available sizes. Based on the filenames, it looks like there is a 12
pitch and a 16 pitch available. The 16 pitch fonts are the ones being
loaded right now. How do I select? I've tried using
GrSetFontSize(fontId, 12) and GrSetFontSize(fontId, 16) but the result is
the same for each.
3. Is the alignment different for the Chinese fonts as for the Latin
fonts? In my current implementation, I do some drawing of cursors and
selection bars that's based on the baseline returned by GrGetGCTextSize().
I use the default alignment of "baseline" in GrText(). For a 16 pitch
Latin font, the baseline returned is 3. For the Chinese font, it is 14.
Thanks again!
