 Damn, I thought that looked familiar! And they even have a clone at the Trek geek site...

Thankfully, there's some sample project in the MSDN Library, which uses GetGlyphOutline() with GGO_NATIVE. According to it's licence, I'm free to copy and paste anything anywhere! :D So I'll just have to copy some functions from that one into mine! That makes my job a lot easier. Not the kind of thing that I would have liked to do, but I've no other option now! Anyway, I'll try the changes you have suggested. There's a small mistake in your code - BYTE buffer[buffsize]; I'll have to use dynamic memory allocation, as bufsize isn't constant. :)
Thanks!

If interested you can read the whole thread about that beauty, Olicana created by Nick Cooke. Being a type geek/nerd I found it to be a fascinating read :)

Mmmmm yeah maybe. People seem to like it though so who knows... I have ideas on how to improve it further.
such as minimizing the extremity of the round overshoots on lowercase letters, as Ivan rightly observed cause an unevenness to the fonts overall appearance...
and i'd like to replace te capital M & N with that of "Caviar Dreams" (the corners on them are "flat' as champagne's meet at a point and another tendency of mine is to have such points also meet at an exaggerated overshoot of baselines or cap-hieghts.... see 'N' of lt oksana!)
and touch up kerning of course...
and extend left and right { and [ symbols to the depth of lowercase descenders....
you know just to name a few.
I guess if I do all those things i might as well just consider it a new font w/a new name. he he.
and as usual I wrote a novel here, because I am a geek :)

Wow. He didn't need to get all worked up like that. If he read were to actually read the comment maybe he would not have been insulted. I did write that some people don't know any better. It is only those who knowingly seek and distribute unauthorized font files that were referred to as "sleaze buckets."
And I even wrote that I, myself, albiet it many many many years ago and it is not something I am proud to admit, I was given and accepted a commercial font that was given to me, "unauthorized."
Karma is a-- is not so nice sometimes, and the copy of Novella I had, I uploaded it to my little dencity.com site at the time to store it which went belly-up not even days later. I didn't even get to use it! It wasn't meant to be.
Sigh. Santa's Sleigh now only for me.
All kidding aside, I hope that it is clear, that I am writing about this because there is "no shame in my game," accepting, seeking or distributing unauthorized copies of fonts is not something I do. I was a kid. Who didn't know.
:P It's no lie, maybe brash sometimes, thats the Vegas in me, but believe it or not, I really am a geek. I'm a goodie goodie. He he.

:D Alex, this time i don't agree. The Litograph Light is a Corel equivalent of the Linotype Lithos which indeed is a commercial typeface. The Litograph Light, however, can be found on every Corel Draw CD and is even included in their demo downloads. For details see below.
Up to a week (plus) ago the Corel version was on this very site: lito.zip. I agree that you have to be strickt on commercial typefaces. But Corel has practically thrown their version in the pubic domain. Like they have done with all the fonts they have the copyright on.
A quick google search shows that Linotype AND (Agfa)Monotype AND Adobe claim the copyright on the Lithos.
So, maybe Postal should have the Lithograph Light. Right? And why not throw in the Regular and the Bold too?
Have fun and be nice to the cats.
