Hi to all,

Sorry if this has already been asked but I didn't find the topic with the keyword <textFont>...

The question is simple; how can I load a dialog box which let the user select the textFont from the system he wants ?
I mean on a desktop application, no mobile.

I've seen the entry of <revFontLoad fontFile> from the dictionary, but no idea how I can get the <fontFile> path from the user system...

Thanks in advance, Jean-Paul.

Bonjour Jean-Paul,

but no idea how I can get the <fontFile> path from the user system...

You can use FontNames() function to get the list of available fonts

You also can create your own dialog box. A substack or a group
Best regards

Ah OK Jean-Marc, thanks, I knew about FontNames() but I thought there was a build in function in LC which would do a part of the work for me
So, if I understand your meaning, I've to build myself all the process dialog box, with a combo box I guess, right ?

Yes, I think that is the best way

with a combo box I guess, right ?

Yes, or option menu

Merci Jean-Marc for these advice
