Hi,

I use FTGL to handle font so I need to find the path for a particular
font. Looking at the wxFont or it's enumerator etc, I can't find support
for this. Am I Missing something?

Thanks in advance,
Henrik Vallgren

I don't really know what FTGL is but wxWidgets doesn't support retrieving
the "font path" (whatever this is: under X11 you could be using a font
server) as there is nothing useful you could do with it using wx anyhow.

Thanks Vadim,

FTGL is a library that adds font support to OpenGL. It uses freetype to
read/decode fonts.

Regars,

Hi Henrik,

as the code you are looking for does not exist in wxWidgets you have to
write your own one as Vadim mentioned.

Here is a piece of code that does the job on MacOSX when passing a font
to the function:

#include <sys/syslimits.h>
#include "wx/font.h"

char* GetFontFilename(wxFont const& Font)
{
char* FullFontFilename;

FSRef FileReference;

FSSpec FileSpecification;



wxCHECK_MSG(::ATSFontGetFileSpecification(::FMGetATSFontRefFromFont(Font.
MacGetATSUFontID()),&FileSpecification) ==
noErr,NULL,wxString(wxT("Typeface '")) << Font.GetFaceName() << wxT("'
not found"));
wxCHECK_MSG(::FSpMakeFSRef(&FileSpecification,&FileReference) ==
noErr,NULL,wxString(wxT("File reference conversion failed")));
FullFontFilename = new char[PATH_MAX];
if (::FSRefMakePath(&FileReference,reinterpret_cast<unsigned
char*>(FullFontFilename),PATH_MAX) == noErr)
return FullFontFilename;
else
{
delete[] FullFontFilename;
return NULL;
} /* if */
} /* GetFontFilename(wxFont const&) */

Thanks a lot Hartwig!

I'm porting from windows so it's already been solved there. Running on
the Mac is the reason I'm porting to wxWindows.
