glcNewFontFromMaster(3G)  OpenGL Character Renderer   glcNewFontFromMaster(3G)

NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

     glcNewFontFromMaster - create a new font from a master

C SPECIFICATION    [Toc]    [Back]

     GLint glcNewFontFromMaster( GLint inFont,
				 GLint inMaster	)

PARAMETERS    [Toc]    [Back]

     inFont    Specifies the ID	of the new font.

     inMaster  Specifies the master from which to create the new font.

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     glcNewFontFromMaster creates a new	font from the master identified	by
     inMaster and gives	it the font ID inFont. If inFont is already the	ID of
     a font, glcNewFontFromMaster generates GLC_PARAMETER_ERROR	and returns
     zero.

     If	the command succeeds, it returns inFont.

     A font is a stylistically consistent set of glyphs	that can be used to
     render some set of	characters. Each font has a family name	(for example
     Palatino) and a state variable that selects one of	the faces (for example
     Regular, Bold, Italic, BoldItalic)	that the font contains.	 A typeface is
     the combination of	a family and a face (for example Palatino Bold).

     A font is an instantiation	of a master. A master is a representation of
     the font that is stored outside of	GLC in a standard format such as
     TrueType or Type1.	A named	list of	masters	is called a catalog. A catalog
     may be implemented	as a file system directory containing master files. A
     list of catalog names defines the list of masters that can	be
     instantiated (that	is, become fonts) in a GLC context.

ERRORS    [Toc]    [Back]

     GLC_PARAMETER_ERROR is generated if inFont	is already the ID of a font.

     GLC_STATE_ERROR is	generated if the issuing thread	has no current GLC
     context.
