Hi, I have a simple need, running under windows:
1) retrieve the list of installed system fonts 2) maybe install missing fonts Surprisingly for me, there seems to be no support for such a thing in python. I really hope I'm mistaken, so _please_ correct me if I'm wrong. I found out that it all boils down to a couple of win32 syscalls: EnumFontFamiliesEx and AddFontResourceEx. Unfortunately I'm no expert of win32 programming whatsoever. I asked Mark Hammond about this. While I wait for him to receive my email, I thought I'd post on the list in case someone else was interested, or had found a different solution. Indeed, win32gui does contain an EnumFontFamilies (without the trailing "Ex") function, but I found no usage example, and I couldn't figure out how to use LOGFONT handles (since such a thing is required as the first parameter to the call). So I decided to punt on it and ask for wiser support. If I could get this EnumFontFamilies to work, it could already be enough, because I found a command line tool that allows me to do font installation. It's got to be some no-brainer 10 lines of C code simply calling AddFontResourceEx, but it works! So, does anybody ever had the same problem? thanks, stefano -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
