 This is the Blair Bold. As it is a small caps font it does not have a lower case chracter set.

Please let me clarify. I was asking for a lower case font that "looks like" Blair, but any input is welcome. Thanks a mill.

The Sans could be SackersGothic or ITC Blair.
The floral above is impressive but could be just skilled lettering.

Close Jay, the Sackers Gothic. Very close. But just out of reach of the sigar box. Look a t the 1 and also the capital R. I think your first guess was better. TheWebPatch sort of gives it away: · Combination lettering CPG/CPT , CPT is Carpenter and CPG is Copperplate Gothic. The big question is which one. There used to be a Copperplate Gothic Sans around but I cant find that one anymore. There is the ITC Blair but that one runs far too wide.
So also no sigar for me. Maybe someone else has the answer. Who knows ...

Hi guys,
This question is not related to server-side programming, but VC++.
I want to know which DCs I have to use to get the bitmap of chars in a font, using the GetGlyphOutline() GDI func.
Please tell me the DC related statements in detail[/b:816ca4c086], and how to initialize them[/b:816ca4c086]. The other thing is the handle of the window that is required to be passed to them, and how to get it![/b:816ca4c086] :confused:
I know the arguments of the GetGlyphOutline() function, except the first one, in case of the GDI function (Not the CDC member func.) and the format of a two color bitmap.
Anyway, which is better (and easier)? GetGlyphOutline() or CDC::GetGlyphOutline() ? Note that I'm having confusion over the former's first argument.
The last thing is CreateCompatibleDC(). Why (and more importantly how) should we use this!! :confused:
I have tried a lot of permutations and combinations(!), but the GDI func. always returns 0, and CDC member function returns 4, instead of the buffer length!:( (I have passed NULL as the buffer ptr and 0 as buffer size, and GGO_BITMAP as the other option). I guess all this is correct, so the only problem I think is with DCs and HWND. I don't have much of a clue about what they(DCs) are! And what's the use of GGO_METRICS??
I have to finish this program ASAP, and I want someone to help me out. I'll be grateful! I'll learn the DC stuff in detail later, but not now! No time! :)

Hi, just got back from prague. All the street signs out there look really 'communist' need to find a similar font.
Imagine the words inscripted on stalin / lenin / marx's grave. U get the idea.

Buckle-up hungrydave!!
I have been staring at this post for quite a while now and must admit I am flabbergasted.
On this forum and others I have seen many posts phrased as 'new york yankees font', 'harley davidson font' and so on. Everyone with more than 0.2% of the average gray matter knows that there are no such fonts but just fonts used to cerate a new york yankees /harley davidson logo/website/... As there is no 'dumbo font' to describe the corporate housestyle typeface of the White House - or Tony Blair for that matter.
So we decrypt and respond.
But this time it goes beyond ignorance or lack of historical understanding or education. This one is plain stupid. Suddenly, apparently there are 'bhudist', 'catholic', liberal, 'conservative' and 'communist' fonts. Fonts, rather typefaces, stupid, are a reflection of time. Not of an ideology. In the part of the world where latin script - which includes cyrilic (not relevant in this case) - is used fashion and the style of a specific period it time determines the type being used. So the Prague street signs, as well as the Paris and Amsterdam, are reflections of the time that they were designed, The 1920's.
Any idea, historical wonder, when communism came to Check?
Satisfied? OK.
