How to Explore acad fonts?

[Ahankhah]

Hi All,

as many of you know, there are ways to get hatch patterns via VLisp and without needing to open *.pat files.

Is there any same way to get information about font files? If so, how?

 

Any help, or clue is greatly appreciated.

Perhaps check the Windows Fonts folder:

 

[color=GREEN];; SpecialFolder  -  Lee Mac[/color]
([color=BLUE]defun[/color] LM:SpecialFolder ( folder [color=BLUE]/[/color] res spf wsh )
   ([color=BLUE]vl-catch-all-apply[/color]
       ([color=BLUE]function[/color]
           ([color=BLUE]lambda[/color] [color=BLUE]nil[/color]
               ([color=BLUE]setq[/color] wsh ([color=BLUE]vlax-get-or-create-object[/color] [color=MAROON]"WScript.Shell"[/color])
                     spf ([color=BLUE]vlax-get-property[/color] wsh 'specialfolders)
                     res ([color=BLUE]vlax-invoke[/color] spf 'item folder)
               )
           )
       )
   )
   ([color=BLUE]if[/color] spf ([color=BLUE]vlax-release-object[/color] spf))
   ([color=BLUE]if[/color] wsh ([color=BLUE]vlax-release-object[/color] wsh))
   res
)

_$ (LM:SpecialFolder "Fonts")
"C:\\Windows\\Fonts"

Lee, thank you for your reply,

LM:SpecialFolder can be a very good library function.

 

But I am seeking a way to find the information of font files invoked by AutoCAD, id est any 'method' to extract font information (not the location of font file) to get curves and lines of each drawn character?

Oh I see - I misunderstood your request.

AFAIK, not through LISP. However, you can using .NET - example.
