Subj: How do you install a font? 91-10-18 21:32:53 EST

Hi, I was wondering how I could install a Venice 14pt font as the system font from assembly. So far I think what I need to do is call _installfont, but I am not sure.

I forget the exact order, but there is a sample program with source code in our libraries here. I believe it's called MenuFont, it's an NDA and it's written in Pascal. There are a series of toolcalls to go through. You have to take into account the space of the menu bar. The menubar is a fixed height and can't be changed (easily)

toolcalls which can be used to set the system font... _FMSetSysFont, a font manager call, just takes a Font ID as a parameter and makes that font the system font. The QuickDraw II call _SetSysFont takes as a parameter a handle to the font which you want to be the system font, and makes that font the system font - however, if you use the QDII call, the Font Manager won't return the correct font ID when you ask it for the ID of the system font.

Please use the Font Manager!!!!!
I have had problems using QD to do this. It is must easier to use FM and a lot less compilcated!!
