Windows Embedded CE provides font linking capability, making it possible to link one or more fonts, called linked fonts, to another font, called the base font. Once you link fonts, you can use the base font to display code points that do not exist in the base font, but do exist in one of the linked fonts. For example, linking a Japanese font to a Latin font gives you the ability to display Japanese characters when using a Latin font using the Unicode text application programming interface (API).
If font linking is enabled on your device, you can examine the registry by enumerating the subkeys of the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\FontLink\SystemLinkto determine the mappings of linked fonts to base fonts. You can add additional links by creating additional subkeys. The following code example shows how to add an additional linking to the registry setting.
