Combo with font facenames [message #444974]

Any ideas on how to create a font selection combo box? I'd like to
enumerate the font face names and place them into a combo, but I can't
figure out how to do this in swt. Any ideas?

Hi,

Why don't you use the FontDialog ?

Hi,

Or you could use the following code:

...
FontData[] fontData = display.getFontList(null, true);
for (int i = 0; i < fontData.length; i++){
// call fontData[i].getName() to get the font name
}

FontData[] fontData = display.getFontList(null, false);
for (int i = 0; i < fontData.length; i++){
// call fontData[i].getName() to get the font name
}

Regards,
Boby

Thanks! I think this will do it. I was searching for a solution under the
fontregistry. Didn't know the Display had this functionality. To answer
your previous question I'm trying to make the changing of fonts more
efficient for my users. Similar to MS Word where the font details are
directly accessible from a combo.

Did you ever get this working, Patrick? I tried to the same thing and I am
getting a lot of repetition. Same fonts with different height and/or
styles.
