RE: [Freetype] Japanese True Type fonts on Windows

[Farhad Khalafi]

Look for one of these in the Fonts folder:

 

MSGOTHIC.TTC

MSMINCHO.TTC

MSGOTHIS.TTF

 

The first two are TrueType collections.

 

For example; to load the first TT font from MSGOTHIC.TTC:

 

FT_Face face;

FT_Open_Args args;

args.flags = FT_OPEN_PATHNAME;

args.pathname = “c:\\Windows\\Fonts\\MSGOTHIC.TTC”;

error = FT_Open_Face(ftLib,&args,0,&face);

 

 

I think you can assume that at least one of these fonts will be present on a Japanese version of Windows.

Subject: [Freetype] Japanese True Type fonts on Windows

 

Hi,

 

I like to use FreeType library to render Japanese on my graphics window,

I guess I will need to have at least one Japanese font file.  Does anyone

know a reasonable Japanese TrueType font file that works with

FreeType library and that I can distribute freely?

 

Also, I will need to do this only on Japanese version of Windows machines.

I bet microsoft has the Japanese font file already.  Does any one know

the name and location of the font file on a Japanese version of

Windows?

 

Any help is welcome.  Thanks in advance.

 

J.C.
