GXPD 09 - QuickDraw GX and Adobe Type Reunion (1-May-95)


Q I have a question relating to QuickDraw GX:

I'm using the HierFontMenu function in the font-menu library that came with GX to build my font menu. However, it seems that Adobe Type Reunion (which is trying to perform a similar function) affects this menu, causing some fonts to be omitted. Is there a simple way that I can tell Type Reunion and other font-menu extensions like it to leave my GXHierFontMenu alone?

A Unfortunately, there is no method to tell Type Reunion and other font-menu extensions like it, to leave your menus alone. They were designed to affect all applications, and they don't have options. You'll have to remove or turn off Type Reunion and other font-menu extensions to prevent the types of problems you're experiencing with your GXHierFontMenu.

There are no notes or other documentation for the QuickDraw GX library code. This code is provided as "sample code" to help your development and learning processes. Notes relating to the GX libraries are on our list of things to do. However, we can point you towards some documentation on the SDK that may be of some help. There is a document called "QD GX Font HI Guidelines" in the "Documents" folder on the SDK that contains guidelines and ideas for creating GX font menus.
