Don't worry, not afraid of an argument. I said this is not a font but a mess because it is just a shameless deformation of some Garamond faces. If you want to call it a typeface thats fine with me. But it aint.

I changed it to GRAY8 bitmap and result is still the same - 4 as bufsize. That's what it's value is before I call it the second time. I checked the return value of GetLastError(), and it was zero. I guess this means there wasn't any error(?!). It would have returned a non-zero value after some error. And the fonts are not corrupted!! I had tried changing fonts and sizes earlier, and this time also, but the return value is always four bytes. Don't ask me the exact error message, cos I dunno how to use FormatString() for this! But GetLastError()'s return value was zero.
If the trouble is with memory DCs, read that part about CDC::CreateCompatibleDC() with NULL as argument, it had something which I din't understand - When a memory device context is created, GDI automatically selects a 1-by-1 monochrome stock bitmap for it. GDI output functions can be used with a memory device context only if a bitmap has been created and selected into that context.[/b:b4086b634e] I don't think so, but could the trouble due to this? I have another doubt - will GetStockObject() be required for this?
Looks like I'll have to go ahead with GGO_NATIVE unless we find some solution soon enough! :D

Bitstream Aurora Bold Condensed. Note that this font doesn't have a "natural" italic/oblique, so the numbers and the upper text were slanted artificially.
Sheesh, looks like today I'm on duty.

:roll: Stretched out a bit? Can't even figure what it means to say. I suggest you spend some time with dafont. They have a huge collection of weird things they call typefaces.

I mean the font name .Since it is a common font , its name should be simple and easy to remember [/quote:be0b9c7fa2]
I'm afraid that, if you are 'complaining' about the complicated name of this "font", you'll have to learn something about typography and the history of typography to understand that your remark is slightly misplaced.
The type Garamond stems from the early times of printing. A few hundred years back. The Garamond has been the example for many other type designs. Through time more and more faces of the Garamond have developed. Bold faces, oblique faces, extended faces, condensed faces and the combinations of those. Every face, therefore, has its own name/description to distinguish it from the other Garamond faces. These faces are what you call a font. We call it a typeface: the Type and the Face. To us a font is a typeface in a particular size. 8 points, 12 point, 18 points, 36 points and so on.
What you are asking for is us to call a grizzly bear simply a bear. Because that is easier. But where does that leave the brown bear, the ice bear, the ... bear and so on?
So when you ask for a 'font' ID you get a 'typeface' With the full identification. OK?
End of lecture.
