PfConvertFontID(), PfConvertFontIDCx()

Convert a font ID to a font name for backwards compatibility

Synopsis:

#include <photon/Pf.h>
char *PfConvertFontID( FontID *ptsID );

#include <font_api.h>
char* PfConvertFontIDCx( struct _Pf_ctrl * context,
                         FontID * ptsID,
                         char * szTag );

Arguments:

context: (PfConvertFontIDCx() only) A pointer to the font context to use, returned by PfAttachCx() or PfAttachDllCx().
ptsID: A pointer to a FontID structure, returned by PfDecomposeStemToIDCx() or PfDecomposeStemToID().
szTag: (PfConvertFontIDCx() only) A pointer to a location where the function can store the font stem.

Library:

PfConvertFontID(): ph
PfConvertFontIDCx(): font

Description:

These functions convert the font ID pointed to by ptsID into a font name. This function can be used for backwards compatibility with the older font API.

These functions don't check to see if ptsID is NULL, due to the way this routine is used.

Returns:

A version of the font identifier that the older font API can understand.

The return type/value could change in future releases of Photon.

Examples:

PfConvertFontID(): See PfFindFont().

PfConvertFontIDCx():

/* A FontID example.  Demonstrates aspects of how to process
 * FontIDs and legacy font stem names.
