The roFontRegistry object allows you to create roFont objects, either using the default font or using fonts in TrueType or OpenType files packaged with your application.
Supported Interfaces
Description
This object is created with no parameters:
- CreateObject("roFontRegistry")
Example
reg = CreateObject("roFontRegistry")
font = reg.GetDefaultFont(30, false, false)
screen = CreateObject("roScreen")
screen.DrawText("hello world", 100, 100, &hFFFFFFFF, font)
Using a font file
reg.Register("pkg:/fonts/myfont.ttf")
font = reg.GetFont("MyFont", 30, false, false)
screen = CreateObject("roScreen")
screen.DrawText("hello world", 100, 100, &hFFFFFFFF, font)
Font files can quickly get very large, so be conscious of the size of the font files you include with your application. You should be able to find very good font files that are 50k or less. Anything larger is probably too big. The customvideoplayer sample application is a good example of usage.
