Font1(nint) 

public Font1(nint nativePtr)

Parameters

nativePtr nint

Properties

IsMonospacedFont

Determines if the font is monospaced, that is, the characters are the same fixed-pitch width (non-proportional).

public RawBool IsMonospacedFont { get; }

Property Value

RawBool

Metrics

Obtains design units and common metrics for the font face. These metrics are applicable to all the glyphs within a font face and are used by applications for layout calculations. 

public FontMetrics1 Metrics { get; }

Property Value

FontMetrics1

Panose

Gets the PANOSE values from the font and is used for font selection and matching.

public Panose Panose { get; }

Property Value

Panose

Remarks

If the font has no PANOSE values, they are set to 'any' (0) and DirectWrite doesn't simulate those values.

Methods

GetUnicodeRanges(int, UnicodeRange[], out int)

Retrieves the list of character ranges supported by a font.

public void GetUnicodeRanges(int maxRangeCount, UnicodeRange[] unicodeRanges, out int actualRangeCount)

Parameters

maxRangeCount int

The maximum number of character ranges passed in from the client.

unicodeRanges UnicodeRange[]

An array of UnicodeRange structures that are filled with the character ranges.

actualRangeCount int

A reference to the actual number of character ranges, regardless of the maximum count.

Remarks

The list of character ranges supported by a font, is useful for scenarios like character picking, glyph display, and efficient font selection lookup. GetUnicodeRanges is similar to GDI's GetFontUnicodeRanges, except that it returns the full Unicode range, not just 16-bit UCS-2.

These ranges are from the cmap, not the OS/2::ulCodePageRange1.

If this method is unavailable, you can use the IDWriteFontFace::GetGlyphIndices method to check for missing glyphs. The method returns the 0 index for glyphs that aren't present in the font.

The IDWriteFont::HasCharacter method is often simpler in cases where you need to check a single character or a series of single characters in succession, such as in font fallback.

Operators

explicit operator Font1(nint) 

public static explicit operator Font1(nint nativePtr)
