1.1     ! root        1: Sample: Demonstration of the Win32 Font API Functions
        !             2: 
        !             3: Summary:
        !             4: 
        !             5: The NTFONTS sample is an easy to use, powerful utility which
        !             6: allows the user to explore the font system.  There is a
        !             7: toolbar on top of the main frame window with buttons that
        !             8: allow the following actions:
        !             9: 
        !            10: 1.Enumerate all of the fonts installed for the display.
        !            11: 2.Get TEXTMETRIC information.
        !            12: 3.Create a font based on an arbitrary LOGFONT structure.
        !            13: 4.Enumerate all of the fonts available to the default
        !            14:   printer.
        !            15: 
        !            16: More Information:
        !            17: 
        !            18: The program is designed to provide the user an easy
        !            19: interface to the API calls related to the font system.  It
        !            20: will not protect against meaningless values, nor will it
        !            21: hide system oddities.  Most of the buttons on the toolbar
        !            22: are self explanatory and represent a single system API.
        !            23: 
        !            24: Pressing the EnumFonts button will show all of the face
        !            25: names listed horizontally, and each of the fonts within that
        !            26: face name listed vertically below it.  TrueType, or any
        !            27: other fonts that do not have a type of RASTER_FONTTYPE will
        !            28: be marked with a small colored "TT" bitmap.  Fonts that have
        !            29: the DEVICE_FONTTYPE bit on will be marked with a small
        !            30: bitmap image of a printer.  When the enumeration windows are
        !            31: showing the user can click the left mouse button to copy the
        !            32: information about a selected font into the LOGFONT and
        !            33: TEXTMETRIC dialogs.  The user can dismiss this window
        !            34: without changing the dialog boxes by clicking with the right
        !            35: mouse button or typing any character.
        !            36: 
        !            37: There are two check boxes on the toolbar.  "ShowAllGlyphs"
        !            38: toggles between painting the "TextOut" window with all of
        !            39: the font's glyphs (from TEXTMETRIC.tmFirstChar to
        !            40: TEXTMETRIC.tmLastChar) and writing a shorter string in the
        !            41: middle of the window.  This latter case is prefered when
        !            42: rotating the font, or when writing in directions other than
        !            43: left to right. The "SetMapperFlags" check box simply
        !            44: maintains a boolean state.  This is set into the HPS just
        !            45: before the logical font is created for repainting, c.f.
        !            46: SetMapperFlags function.
