Unit 7: Character Sets, Fonts and the Keyboard

The four low-order bits of this member state information regarding the pitch and the technology Notes
of the font. A constant is defined for each of the four bits.
An application should cautiously test for qualities encoded in these low-order bits, making no
arbitrary assumptions.

Example: Apart from having their own bits set, TrueType and PostScript fonts set the
TMPF_VECTOR bit. A monospace bitmap font has all of these low-order bits clear; a proportional
bitmap font sets the TMPF_FIXED_PITCH bit. A Postscript printer device font sets the
TMPF_DEVICE, TMPF_VECTOR, and TMPF_FIXED_PITCH bits.
The four high-order bits of tmPitchAndFamily assign the font’s font family. An application can
utilize the value 0xF0 and the bitwise AND operator to mask out the four low-order bits of
tmPitchAndFamily, therefore receiving a value that can be directly compared with font family
names to locate an identical match.
tmCharSet
States the character set of the font. The character set is one of the following values:

ANSI_CHARSET DEFAULT_CHARSET
SYMBOL_CHARSET SHIFTJIS_CHARSET
HANGUL_CHARSET GB2312_CHARSET
CHINESEBIG5_CHARSET OEM_CHARSET
JOHAB_CHARSET HEBREW_CHARSET
ARABIC_CHARSET GREEK_CHARSET
TURKISH_CHARSET VIETNAMESE_CHARSET
THAI_CHARSET EASTEUROPE_CHARSET
RUSSIAN_CHARSET MAC_CHARSET
BALTIC_CHARSET

Self Assessment

Fill in the blanks:
12. ......................... is a font structure contains basic information about a physical font.
13. ......................... states an underlined font if it is nonzero.

7.10 Putting Fonts to Work

7.10.1 Installing OpenType or TrueType Fonts in Windows

We suggest installing only one format — OpenType, TrueType, or PostScript — of a font.
Installing two or more formats of the similar font may cause troubles when you attempt to use,
view, or print the font.

Notes In Windows XP, select Start > Control Panel.
