Font which does not exist

[Mankan]

Hi

if you set a font to a font which does not exist - is there property or method which can tell me that.

For example if I do: SetFont("Arialxx",10) there is no error message.
When I display FontName I also get "Arialxx".

Any hints?

In case you specify a font which does not exist, there is automatically a font chosen which will match the given specs (size, attributes, charset) as much as possible. There is no error code.

If you want to test if a specific font is installed on the current system, use the Windows API.
