- And how to get (with Windows' API if no native code exists) the font name that can be used in LoadFont() from the filename "MyFont.ttf"?
- And how to get the total number of characters the font file contains?
- And how to get the list of characters available (not empty) available in a font?
:wink:

Hi Skywalk,
Indeed, it occurs even when Z is in the middle of a procedure name. Well seen !

I'm using the same font both in the editor as in my programs.
Using this font works perfectly in the PB editor, DPI set at 100% or 200%.
The font is called "iosevka" - https://github.com/be5invis/Iosevka

In the editor it is perfectly sharp...

I must add that this occurs only when the last letter of the procedure name is a upper Z (not with the lower z).

Hi all,
This is very unusual error: a sorting error. dirZ is not correctly sorted ! This is the output :

Hi all,
First, look at the two images.

The above image has a sharp font, Window's DPI set at 100%.

and this image is less sharp, Window's DPI set at 200%.

The flag #PB_Font_HighQuality in LoadFont() has no effect. (I wonder when ...

Maybe this?

We all have nine fingers. The first one is the zeroth one.
At school, we learned to count from one, not from zero.... hence the confusion.

On my Windows 11 Home, it returns:

111

No, it is not runable because it stops at PVDynamic_ColorGadget(), this procedure is missing.

Anyway, I probably found the problem, a very common problem.
You wrote curent_user.s="toto" , it had to be current_user.s="toto" (with two R !) :mrgreen:

To avoid this kind of problem, it is VERY highly ...

It would be probably a little easier to help you to find the error if you provide us a runable code.
PVDynamic_ColorGadget() is missing here...

Thanks mk-soft for the trick.

Question for having the confirmation:
If a ProcedureDLL is used in the local program (thus not as an extern DLL file), is it working 100% like a standard Procedure?
ProcedureDLL.s Software()
ProcedureReturn "PBM-Software"
EndProcedure
v1.s=Software()
Debug v1

Nice example, thank you AZJIO. :wink: Through your code, I have seen that Debug and MessageRequester give different return values, so the string is returned ByRef.
For now, a real "Chinese puzzle", but I understand perfectly what is happening.
I only need to get accustomed.... :mrgreen:

Edit: I saw ...

Ok, no PeekI() needed, thanks.
Ok, use of Import or Prototypes are recommended instead of CallFunction.
So, Prototypes handles .dll files so I think it is the same way to create the .dll (with Compiler set to Executable Format: Shared DLL)
But Import handles .lib files instead of .dll. How do we ...

Welcome to the magic world of PureBasic!
You can use the bitwise XOR to toggle between 0 and 1.
I quickly simplified your program by merging ToggleInfoOn() and ToggleInfoOff() to simply ToggleInfo().
Inside the ToggleInfo(), the PBState is toggled, and you toggle at the same time the gadgets.
