RE: [Dev-C++] fonts

Hi,
 
I had a similar problem using the common font dialog in VB. As far as I can
remember you have to specify a type of font to list using one of the flags
otherwise Windows doesn't know which fonts to enumerate.
 
CF_WYSIWYG, CF_PRINTERFONTS or CF_TTONLY

Hi.
I have a strange problem: I want to use ChooseFont API function to display
font selection dialog. I wrote a procedure, compiled, but when I start the
application and press choose font from the menu, I get the message: "There
are no fonts instaled. Open Fonts folder in Control Panel to install
fonts.". Of course, fonts are installed. I have Windows 2000 and DevCpp
4.9.5.0. Can anyone tell me what could cause this? Here is the code I wrote
to display font dialog:
 
case WM_COMMAND:
           switch(LOWORD(wParam))
           {
               case ID_FORMAT_FONT:
               {
                   CHOOSEFONT chFont;
                   chFont.lStructSize=sizeof(CHOOSEFONT);
                   chFont.hwndOwner=hwnd;
                   chFont.lpLogFont=&lFont;
                   chFont.iPointSize=1;
                   chFont.Flags=CF_INITTOLOGFONTSTRUCT|CF_EFFECTS;
                   chFont.rgbColors=RGB(0,0,0);
                   chFont.nFontType=REGULAR_FONTTYPE;
                   if(!ChooseFont(&chFont))
                       MessageBox(hwnd,"Error in font
dialog","Error",MB_OK|MB_ICONSTOP);
               }
               break;
           }
