This function enumerates the fonts available on a specified device. This function is provided for compatibility with earlier versions of the Microsoft Platform SDK. Whenever possible, applications should use the EnumFontFamiliesfunction.

int
EnumFonts(
HDC
hdc
,
LPCTSTR
lpFaceName
, FONTENUMPROC
lpFontFunc
,
LPARAM
lParam
);

Parameters

hdc

[in] Handle to the device context (DC).

lpFaceName

[in] Long pointer to a null-terminated string that specifies the typeface name of the desired fonts. If lpFaceNameis NULL, EnumFontsrandomly selects and enumerates one font of each available typeface.

lpFontFunc

[in] Long pointer to the application-defined callback function. For more information, see EnumFontsProc.

lParam

[in] Pointer to any application-defined data. The data is passed to the callback function along with the font information.

Return Values

The return value is the last value returned by the callback function. Its meaning is defined by the application.

Remarks

Use EnumFontFamiliesExinstead of EnumFonts. The EnumFontFamiliesExfunction differs from the EnumFontsfunction in that it retrieves the style names associated with a TrueType font. With EnumFontFamiliesEx, you can retrieve information about font styles that cannot be enumerated using the EnumFontsfunction.

Windows CE versions 2.0 and later support systems that use either TrueType or raster fonts but not both. The font type (raster or TrueType) is chosen at system design time, and cannot be changed by an application.

Windows CE versions 1.0 and 1.01 support only raster fonts.
