DQBloadFont
FUNCTION

Prototype

DECLARE FUNCTION DQBloadFont (FileName AS STRING)

Parameters

FileName - Font file with full extension

Returns

An INTEGER value holding the loading results: > 0 Loading successful > 1 Cannot open file, or file does not exist > 2 General reading error

Description

Loads and sets a font from a specified file. The font file must contain the data in the first 2305 bytes, in the format explained into appendix C.

Notes:

This function is useful as it doesn't require a QB buffer to hold the data; the disadvantage of using it, is that every time you change the font, the disk is accessed. By using DQBsetFont instead, you can keep your fonts in QB memory and set them as needed.
