[Class] CustomFont - Load font from file or resource, without needed install to system.

Thanks tmplinshi, looks promising. Unfortunately I only get a rectangle image on the menu, regardless of the icon no.

Works fine here with latest AHK U32/U64. I've packed all necessary files, you can download at: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1a1_RYPLDjE88d90ppc-ealUX3VhGJFxj

Thanks, very kind. I tried on Win10 and it works great.
It still doesn't work on my Win7 machine, I'll check what might be the issue.

Guess what, It works on Win10, it's because the font "Segoe MDL2 Assets" is a built-in font on Win10
Then I tried another font generated by http://fontello.com/, it didn't work.

Here is another method without using Class_CustomFont.ahk.

Code: Select all

SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir%

#Include <Gdip_All>
#Include <Subtitle> ; https://www.autohotkey.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=36384

pToken := Gdip_Startup()

hFamily := Gdip_CreateFontFamilyFromFile("fontello.ttf")
pBitmap := Subtitle.RenderToBitmap(Chr(0xe800), {color:"Transparent"}, {s:24, hFamily:hFamily, color:"black"})
hIcon := Gdip_CreateHICONFromBitmap(pBitmap)

Menu, TestMenu, Add, Smile, MenuOnClick
Menu, TestMenu, Icon, Smile, hIcon:%hIcon%,, 24
Menu, TestMenu, Show
Menu, TestMenu, Delete

Gdip_Shutdown(pToken)
ExitApp

Gdip_CreateFontFamilyFromFile(FontFile, FontName := "") {
	if !FileExist(FontFile)
		throw "Font file not exist: " . FontFile

	DllCall("gdiplus\GdipNewPrivateFontCollection", "ptr*", hCollection)

	; FileRead, fontData, *c %FontFile%
	; DllCall("gdiplus\GdipPrivateAddMemoryFont", "ptr", hCollection, "ptr", &fontData, "uint", VarSetCapacity(fontData))
	DllCall("gdiplus\GdipPrivateAddFontFile", "ptr", hCollection, "str", FontFile)

	if (FontName = "") {
		VarSetCapacity(pFontFamily, 10, 0)
		DllCall("gdiplus\GdipGetFontCollectionFamilyList", "ptr", hCollection, "int", 1, "ptr", &pFontFamily, "int*", found)

		VarSetCapacity(FontName, 100)
		DllCall("gdiplus\GdipGetFamilyName", "ptr", NumGet(pFontFamily, 0, "ptr"), "str", FontName, "ushort", 1033)
	}

	DllCall("gdiplus\GdipCreateFontFamilyFromName", "str", FontName, "ptr", hcollection, "uint*", hFamily)
	return hFamily
}

MenuOnClick(ItemName) {
	MsgBox, % ItemName
}

Note that I added 3 lines to Subtitle.ahk:

Code: Select all

      ; Create Font.
      if style2.hFamily
         hFamily := style2.hFamily
      else
         hFamily := (___ := Gdip_FontFamilyCreate(f)) ? ___ : Gdip_FontFamilyCreate("Arial") ; Default font is Arial.

It works, thanks!

But not sure Class_CustomFont is a problem. First part of this works in Win7:

Code: Select all

SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir%

#Include <Gdip_All>
#Include <Subtitle> ; https://www.autohotkey.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=36384
#Include <Class_CustomFont>

font1 := New CustomFont("SegMDL2.ttf")
gui, font, s12, Segoe MDL2 Assets
gui, add, text,, % chr(0xE713)
gui, show

pToken := Gdip_Startup()
pBitmap := Subtitle.RenderToBitmap(Chr(0xE713), "color:Transparent", "s:24 f:(Segoe MDL2 Assets) color:black")
hIcon := Gdip_CreateHICONFromBitmap(pBitmap)

Menu, TestMenu, Add, Settings, MenuOnClick
Menu, TestMenu, Icon, Settings, hIcon:%hIcon%,, 24
Menu, TestMenu, Show
Menu, TestMenu, Delete
ExitApp

MenuOnClick(ItemName) {
	MsgBox, % ItemName
}

I will include this into the GDI+ library edition I created. It works great.

Please let me know if you wish not to have it included in my GDI+ lib.

Best regards, Marius.

Thanks, very kind. I tried on Win10 and it works great. :D

Guess what, It works on Win10, it's because the font "Segoe MDL2 Assets" is a built-in font on Win10 :shock:

Anyone know why Class_CustomFont.ahk might fail?

Here is a snip of the code below:

Code: Select all

#Include Class_CustomFont.ahk

fileinstall, Images\logos\Lato-Regular.ttf ,% Base_Folder "Images\logos\Lato-Regular.ttf"
font1 := New CustomFont(Base_Folder "Images\logos\Lato-Regular.ttf")

gui, font, s13 cWhite underline, Lato
gui, add, text, backgroundtrans xs+11 w225 center ys+15, Profiles

On all systems I have tested on this works completely fine (top picture). A user has sent me a screenshot and the text is all random characters (bottom picture).
