Load a font from file (like AddFontResource_)

[Lebostein]

Hi,

how I can load a font file in PureBasic on Mac OS X? On Windows I use "AddFontResource_()" to do that.

Thanks.

See Custom font in a Cocoa application and ATSApplicationFontsPath and
Embedding Fonts in an Application.

Just adding ATSApplicationFontsPath key to your Info.plist seems the way to go to
import your own fonts from Resources directory within your .app file.

Any hope for a snippet?

Example: Embedded_font_in_app.zip (51KB)

Code: Select all

;
; 1.) Compile your .app
;
; 2.) Create the "Resources" directory within your .app/Contents/ directory
;
; 3.) Create a "fonts" directory within the Resources directory and copy your fonts there
;
; 4.) Add the following key and string to your Info.plist:
;     <key>ATSApplicationFontsPath</key>
;     <string>fonts</string>
;
;     the string "fonts" is the name of the directory
;     within your Resources folder, where your fonts are located
;
;
;
; The embedded font is „Crystal“ by Allen R Walden:

;
crystal = LoadFont(#PB_Any,"Crystal", 100, #PB_Font_HighQuality)
image   = CreateImage(#PB_Any, 800,600, 32, RGB(255,255,255))

If StartDrawing( ImageOutput(image) )
    DrawingFont( FontID(crystal) )
    DrawingMode(#PB_2DDrawing_Transparent)
    DrawText(10,10,"CRYSTAL FONT",RGB(0,0,0))
    StopDrawing()
EndIf

OpenWindow(0,0,0,800,600,"Load embedded font from .app",#PB_Window_SystemMenu|#PB_Window_ScreenCentered)
ImageGadget(0,0,0,800,600,ImageID(image))
Repeat:Until WaitWindowEvent()=#PB_Event_CloseWindow
