[WojTec]

Getting TTF name from file is not hard, but how about the ones stored in stream? How to do it

Are you sure with Delphi 5 as you flagged this thread or Delphi XE6 as your profile state?

How do you read the name from the file?

Mostly the file is opend as a stream and then the information is read from the stream

Can you be more detailed what you mean or try to achieve?

Because getting some "file information" stored in a stream is basically the same like getting information from an external file. The only difference is that you need to "locate" and "extract" the file from the stream.

So did you create the stream yourself? Or is it some unknown data format? Because if you created the stream yourself you should know the properties (like position and size) of the files / data you store?

Or do you mean how to "read" from a TMemoryStream or TFileStream ? If yes, then look up TStream.Read .

Also have a look at AddFontMemResourceEx

And on SO there is also an example

If it will be native Delphi code, then probably will no problem read stream, but I'm using GDI32.DLL@GetFontResourceInfoW:

function GetFontResourceInfoW(lpszFilename: PWideChar; var cbBuffer: DWORD; lpBuffer: PWideChar; dwQueryType: DWORD): DWORD; stdcall;

This is working for both TTF and FON. But they want to see file path, not data pointer.

Yap, I have routines to load not installed fonts at runtime, but now I want to get name from font stream (stored in some TStream descent). Or in this way can get loaded font name
