IDWriteGdiInterop::ConvertFontToLOGFONT method (dwrite.h)

Initializes a LOGFONT structure based on the GDI-compatible properties of the specified font.

Syntax

HRESULT ConvertFontToLOGFONT(
        IDWriteFont *font,
  [out] LOGFONTW    *logFont,
  [out] BOOL        *isSystemFont
);

Parameters

font

Type: IDWriteFont*

An IDWriteFont object to be converted into a GDI-compatible LOGFONT structure.

[out] logFont

Type: LOGFONTW*

When this method returns, contains a structure that receives a GDI-compatible font description.

[out] isSystemFont

Type: BOOL*

When this method returns, contains TRUE if the specified font object is part of the system font collection; otherwise, FALSE.

Return value

Type: HRESULT

Remarks

The conversion to a LOGFONT by using ConvertFontToLOGFONT operates at the logical font level and does not guarantee that it will map to a specific physical font. It is not guaranteed that GDI will select the same physical font for displaying text formatted by a LOGFONT as the IDWriteFont object that was converted.
