Dear board,
please add a procedure to get the REAL font-name.
Code: Select all
RealFontName$ = SelectedFontRealName()
I tried to load a font called "Bank Gothic" on Mac OS X, which PB didn't load (2 seconds before putting a bug-report). The font is called "Bank Gothic Medium" internally, but you cannot read the real name from the SelectedFontName()-function as it goes under the name "Bank Gothic" in the FontRequester. This always happens when a font does not have a "Standard"-typeface.
Would also be great to have something like this:
Code: Select all
RealFontName$ = GetFontRealName(FontName$)
FontName$ = GetFontName(RealFontName$)
SelectedFontTypeFace() ; this one is possibly Mac-only?
It's a lot easier to use the FontRequester with LoadFont without having the need to store the real names internally...
