- I am working on a graphics package (running under non-Windows) and
- would like to make use of Windows font libraries since there are
- so many of them and they are easy to obtain in computer
- software stores.
-
- The problem comes in as to were to find out information on
- the file formats of these font libraries. Ultimately,
- what I would like to do is come up with a method that
- would allow end users of this package to go out and
- buy their own scalable font packages or create them themselves
- and include them into their programs. This package
- would run on a 386 system but not running DOS (it is an
- embedded system and the fonts would become part of the system).
-
- Thanks, in advance, for any help any of you are able to
- give me.
