[wxFontDialog]

[Filip Sykala]

Hi wx-users,
I try to use wxFontDialog for selecting TTF font.

I've three issues.

1) Is there a way to filtrate fonts inside dialog?
On my Windows 10, it looks like there is more than 200 fonts. And not all are TTF.

2) How Can I recognize TTF font from wxFont?
3) How to open dialog with previous selected font?
It looks like it should work with constructor, but not for me.

static wxFontData data; 

wxFontDialog font_dialog((wxWindow *)mainframe, data);
nor this one:

static wxFontDialog font_dialog(nullptr);

Thanks for any advice.
Filip

This depends on what do you mean by filtering. You can't filter by font
names, but you can filter by their more global characteristics, e.g. you
can restrict the fonts to fixed-pitch ones only.

I think you should be able to see only TTF fonts if you use
wxFontData::RestrictSelection(wxFONTRESTRICT_SCALABLE).

FS> 2) How Can I recognize TTF font from wxFont?

We don't have anything in the API to distinguish vector fonts from the
bitmap ones.

You need to call wxFontData::SetInitialFont(), see the dialogs sample.
