here's the whole function, just notice the code that is commented...
ot_FntDefineFont replaces FntDefineFont
(ot stands for OliveTree)
/***********************************************************************
*
* ot_FntDefineFont
*
**********************************************************************/
extern void ot_FntDefineFont(fontID MyId, FontPtr pFontTypeInst);
void ot_FntDefineFont(fontID MyId, FontPtr pFontTypeInst)
{
//ULong before_freeBytes = 0;
//ULong after_freeBytes = 0;
//ULong maxChunk = 0;
//*************************************************
// causes CRASHES in the sumulators, but not the actual devices.
// BUT necessary for the Palm T5, else it looses much memory
//*************************************************
if( pCBibleDesktopInst->pOTHWInst->IsOS50())
FntDefineFont(MyId, 0);
// get the memory before
//MemHeapFreeBytes (0, &before_freeBytes, &maxChunk);
//*************************************************
// set the font
//*************************************************
FntDefineFont(MyId, pFontTypeInst);
// get the memory after
//MemHeapFreeBytes (0, &after_freeBytes, &maxChunk);
// loosing about 2/3 of the size of the font passed in on a T5
//ULong MemoryLoss = before_freeBytes - after_freeBytes;
}
