Creates a font object for a device and font.
Syntax
HRESULT WINAPI D3DXCreateFont(
LPDIRECT3DDEVICE9 pDevice, INT Height, UINT Width, UINT Weight, UINT MipLevels, BOOL Italic, DWORD CharSet, DWORD OutputPrecision, DWORD Quality, DWORD PitchAndFamily, LPCTSTR pFacename, LPD3DXFONT *ppFont );
Parameters
- pDevice
- [in] Pointer to an IDirect3DDevice9 interface, the device to be associated with the font object.
- Height
- [in] The height of the characters in logical units.
- Width
- [in] The width of the characters in logical units.
- Weight
- [in] Typeface weight. One example is bold.
- MipLevels
- [in] The number of mipmap levels.
- Italic
- [in] True for italic font, false otherwise.
- CharSet
- [in] The character set of the font.
- OutputPrecision
- [in] Specifies how Microsoft Windows should attempt to match the desired font sizes and characteristics with actual fonts. Use OUT_TT_ONLY_PRECIS for instance, to ensure that you always get a TrueTypeŽ font.
- Quality
- [in] Specifies how Windows should match the desired font with a real font. It applies to raster fonts only and should not affect TrueType fonts.
- PitchAndFamily
- [in] Pitch and family index.
- pFacename
- [in] String containing the typeface name. If the compiler settings require Unicode, the data type LPCTSTR resolves to LPCWSTR. Otherwise, the string data type resolves to LPCSTR. See Remarks.
- ppFont
- [out] Returns a pointer to an ID3DXFont interface, representing the created font object.
Return Value
If the function succeeds, the return value is S_OK.
If the function fails, the return value can be one of the following:
D3DERR_INVALIDCALL The method call is invalid. For example, a method's parameter may have an invalid value. D3DXERR_INVALIDDATA The data is invalid. E_OUTOFMEMORY Microsoft Direct3D could not allocate sufficient memory to complete the call.
Remarks
The compiler setting also determines the function version. If Unicode is defined, the function call resolves to D3DXCreateFontW. Otherwise, the function call resolves to D3DXCreateFontA because ANSI strings are being used.
