IMLangFontLink2 interface
Implements a set of services that allow an application to use font linking.
Members
The IMLangFontLink2 interface inherits from the IUnknown interface. IMLangFontLink2 also has these types of members:
- Methods
Methods
The IMLangFontLink2 interface has these methods.
| Method | Description |
|---|---|
| CodePageToScriptID | Gets the script identifier associated with a code page. |
| GetFontCodePages | Gets the set of code pages whose characters can be output by the specified font on the given device context. |
| GetFontUnicodeRanges | Gets information about which Unicode characters are supported by a font. |
| GetScriptFontInfo | Gets the font information for the specified script. |
| MapFont | Creates a font to output the characters from the given set of code pages or to output a character not found in a codepage. |
| ReleaseFont | Releases a font object that is created by the IMLangFontLink2::MapFont method. |
| ResetFontMapping | Clears the font cache that is used to store fonts created by IMLangFontLink2::MapFont. |
Remarks
Like the IMLangFontLink interface, this interface allows an application to use font linking. Font linking describes the process of automatic font switching, based on the character code values of the text stream to be rendered. For example, characters for Hebrew and Japanese typically are not included in a single font. The services provided by this interface allow a client to switch between a Hebrew font and a Japanese font to output a string containing characters from both languages. IMLangFontLink2 does this by creating custom fonts and providing an underlying font cache in the implementation.
