Okay, I'm going to need someone to point me in the right direction. I found the command I need
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/gdi/fontext_5cz6.asp
But I'm at a bit of a loss as how to call it from Blitz. As fonts use the gdi32.dll (apparently) I tried to extern it into blitz, but it's not very happy with that.
ifirstchar and ilastchar are self explanitory. When it says lpbuffer I assume that's a bank or an int to return the value I want yeah?
I have no idea though what hdc (handle to DC) means. "Handle to the device context", does it mean the screen created with the graphics command, and if so what do I pass to it?
Very lost, never been anywhere near the system stuff before.
