Hello,
on the Mac, by using declares, I can make a list of fonts supporting, for example, only Bengali (bn) or Hindi (hi) scripts.
Does anybody know how to achieve it in Windows?
BTW, I had a look at WFS: it has got “FontWFS” classes in the Graphics folder; but I’m not experienced enough to have it work. May be somebody can see and help me?
Being a free app, I would not take into consideration using plugins.
Thanks.
I can’t really help you, but there is something in a font file that indicates the script - if you open your fonts folder you see a column “Designed for”. I don’t know if this is the same as the “charset” in FontWFS, which is in any event a bit beyond me too.
Maybe Michel can help - he is a font boffin.
I Windows I think it is called “Target Script”, and my hope was to find something like it among the various items in FontWFS.
Thanks for answering.
I don’t think WFS contains anything that can do what you want.
You want to start here : https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd374089(v=vs.85).aspx
What you need is probably in function prototype.
I never needed it, so unfortunately I have no code to share.
Anyway, thank you for answering.
Unfortunately its not in the WFS.
Define the charset you need in
then call
I think that is what you need?
Thank you, Julian, for pursuing the matter.
From the descriptions given, I’d say that that could be the way go; for instance, since I know that “Vrinda” font is used for Bengali (“bn”), I’d test and see if “bn” is buried somewhere.
But as I said, I am not expert enough to deal with these intricacies.
