Description
Function GetFontName converts a system font ID to a font name.
An integer ID with a value representing a font in the current operating system.
FUNCTION GetFontName(
fontID :INTEGER) : STRING;
def vs.GetFontName(fontID): return STRING
Parameters
fontID INTEGER Font ID value.
Remarks
_c_ (2016.03.05): Upon passing an illegal font index it returns:
- before VW 2015: an empty string
- after VW 2015: the string "System font regular".
After VW 2015 you can use VS:GetFontListSize to fetch the count of installed fonts. Before that you had to check in both negative and positive direction the whole integer limit: from -32767 to +32767.
Example
VectorScript
PROCEDURE Example; VAR str :STRING; cnt :INTEGER; BEGIN FOR cnt := 0 to 10 DO str := Concat(str, Chr(13), GetFontName(cnt)); AlrtDialog(str); END; RUN(Example);
Python
def Example(): str = '' for cnt in range(0,10): str = vs.Concat(str, vs.Chr(13), vs.GetFontName(cnt)) vs.AlrtDialog(str) Example()
