Hi, I have been trying to understand how font scaling(Format->Chracter->Position) works in Windows. This is my understanding so far: Consider the font preview window: First a LOGFONT with width=0 is created. Then CreateFontIndirect is called which searches for a font according to the criteria mentioned here :https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd145037(v=vs.85).aspx . After that the 100% width is obtained from the new log font and is scaled by the scaling factor. And eventually again a new LOGFONT is created with the lfWidth( which is the average char width of the font ) equal to our scaled width. Finally, this is the font set into the device context and used in layout and drawing. After choosing the scaling and closing the font preview window, a SwFntObj with the scaled width is created ( in CreatePrtFnt ). This font is used in further layout related functions.
Can anyone confirm if my understanding of the process is correct. Also am I missing anything? Regards, Akash _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
