Summary of Symbian font usage

Windcao published with: http://blog.csdn.net/windcao/archive/2007/09/05/1773637.aspx

First look at the code, because some of the original content of the label is wrong,
 gc.DrawText(_L("SymbolFont /x671D/x5916/x5927/x8857"),TPoint(x,baseH));
is displayed as     gc.DrawText( _L( " SymbolFont g1DY16Y27??57 " ),TPoint(x,baseH));
Actually, /x671D/x5916/x5927/x8857 is the Chinese character Chaowai Dajie.

Get fixed-size fonts:

void  CTestView::Draw(  const  TRect &   /**/ /*aRect*/  )  const
     ... {
                    // Get the standard graphics context
                    CWindowGc& gc = SystemGc();

                    // Gets the control's extent
                    TRect drawRect( Rect());

                    // Clears the screen
                     gc.Clear( drawRect );
    
                     TInt baseH=0;
    TInt incH=10;
    TInt x=0;
    const CFont* myFont = NULL;                     
// -------------------------- 拉丁 字体                     myFont = LatinPlain12 ();     gc.UseFont (myFont);     baseH + = myFont -> HeightInPixels () + 1 ;     gc.DrawText (_L ( " LatinPlain12 g1DY16Y27 ?? 57 " ), TPoint (x, baseH));     gc.DiscardFont ();     myFont = LatinBold12 ();     gc.UseFont (myFont);     baseH + = myFont -> HeightInPixels () + 1 ; //





    



    gc.DrawText (_L ("LatinBold12 g1DY16Y27 ?? 57"), TPoint (x, baseH));     gc.DrawText (_L ( " LatinBold12 " ), TPoint (x, baseH));     gc.DiscardFont ();     myFont = LatinBold13 ();     gc.UseFont (myFont);     baseH + = myFont -> HeightInPixels () + 1 ; // gc.DrawText (_L ("LatinBold13 g1DY16Y27 ?? 57"), TPoint (x, baseH));     gc.DrawText (_L ( " LatinBold13 " ), TPoint (x, baseH));     gc.DiscardFont ();     myFont = LatinBold16 ();        gc.UseFont (myFont);     baseH + =


    



    


    


myFont->HeightInPixels()+1;
    //gc.DrawText(_L("LatinBold16 g1DY16Y27ˆ57"),TPoint(x,baseH));
    gc.DrawText(_L("LatinBold16"),TPoint(x,baseH));
    gc.DiscardFont();    
    
    myFont=LatinBold17();
    gc.UseFont( myFont );
    baseH+=myFont->HeightInPixels()+1;
    gc.DrawText(_L("LatinBold17 g1DY16Y27ˆ57"),TPoint(x,baseH));
    gc.DiscardFont();
    
    myFont=LatinBold19();
    gc.UseFont( myFont );
    baseH + = myFont -> HeightInPixels () + 1 ;
    gc.DrawText (_L ( " LatinBold19 g1DY16Y27 ?? 57 " ), TPoint (x, baseH));
    gc.DiscardFont ();
    
    myFont = NumberPlain5 ();
    gc.UseFont (myFont);
    baseH + = myFont -> HeightInPixels () + 1 ;
    gc.DrawText (_L ( " 1234567890 " ), TPoint (x, baseH));
    gc.DiscardFont ();
    
    myFont = ClockBold30 ();
    gc.UseFont (myFont);
    baseH + = myFont-> HeightInPixels () + 1 ;
    gc.DrawText (_L ( " ClockBold30 g1DY16Y27 ?? 57 " ), TPoint (x, baseH));
    gc.DiscardFont ();
    
    myFont = LatinClock14 ();
    gc.UseFont (myFont);
    baseH + = myFont -> HeightInPixels () + 1 ;
    gc.DrawText (_L ( " LatinClock14 g1DY16Y27 ?? 57 " ), TPoint (x, baseH));
    gc.DiscardFont ();
    
// --------------------- 中文 字体    myFont = ApacPlain16 ();     gc.UseFont (myFont);     baseH + =


myFont->HeightInPixels()+1;
//    gc.DrawText(_L("ApacPlain16 g1DY16Y27ˆ57"),TPoint(x,baseH));
    gc.DrawText(_L("ApacPlain16"),TPoint(x,baseH));
    gc.DiscardFont();

    myFont=ApacPlain12();
    gc.UseFont( myFont );
    baseH+=myFont->HeightInPixels()+1;
//    gc.DrawText(_L("ApacPlain12 g1DY16Y27ˆ57"),TPoint(x,baseH));
    gc.DrawText(_L("ApacPlain12"),TPoint(x,baseH));
    gc.DiscardFont();
      }

Get a fixed-scale font.

void  CTest2View::Draw(  const  TRect &   /**/ /*aRect*/  )  const
     ... {
    // Get the standard graphics context
    CWindowGc& gc = SystemGc();

    // Gets the control's extent
    TRect drawRect( Rect());

    // Clears the screen
    gc.Clear( drawRect );
    
    TInt baseH=0;
    TInt incH=10;
    TInt x=0;
    const CFont* myFont=NULL;

    myFont=CEikonEnv::Static()->TitleFont();
    gc.UseFont( myFont );    
    baseH+=myFont->HeightInPixels() +1;
    gc.DrawText(_L("TitleFont g1DY16"),TPoint(x,baseH));
    gc.DiscardFont();


    myFont=CEikonEnv::Static()->NormalFont();
    gc.UseFont( myFont );
    baseH+=myFont->HeightInPixels()+1;
    gc.DrawText(_L("NormalFont g1DY16Y27"),TPoint(x,baseH));
    gc.DiscardFont();

    myFont=CEikonEnv::Static()->AnnotationFont();
    gc.UseFont( myFont );
    baseH+=myFont->HeightInPixels()+1;
    gc.DrawText(_L("AnnotationFont g1DY16Y27ˆ57"),TPoint(x,baseH));
    gc.DiscardFont();

    myFont=CEikonEnv::Static()->LegendFont();
    gc.UseFont( myFont );
    baseH+=myFont->HeightInPixels()+1;
    gc.DrawText(_L("LegendFont g1DY16Y27ˆ57"),TPoint(x,baseH));
    gc.DiscardFont();

    myFont=CEikonEnv::Static()->SymbolFont();
    gc.UseFont( myFont );
    baseH+=myFont->HeightInPixels()+1;
    gc.DrawText(_L("SymbolFont g1DY16Y27ˆ57"),TPoint(x,baseH));
    gc.DiscardFont();

    myFont=CEikonEnv::Static()->DenseFont();
    gc.UseFont( myFont );
    baseH+=myFont->HeightInPixels()+1;
    gc.DrawText(_L("DenseFont g1DY16Y27ˆ57"),TPoint(x,baseH));
    gc.DiscardFont();
}
