Simplified CFontDialog to only be able to see the font size ? or better UI for that.

Question

In our application, we use a specialized font (for GD&T[^])

We'd like to be able to remove/disable the part of the CFontDialog that we do not want (font list, font style, ... ) and just keep the font size list.

I know that removing UI element will not make the dialog nice, so that would teh last resort.

Another question, is there a way to query the available font size for a specific font ? or is that list "hard-coded" ? I could just use a custom UI with a list of sizes instead of calling the font dialog.

Thanks.

You can query information on the installed fonts, just as the the dialog does it.

You will essentially enumerate through various branches in the font tables to find the information you seek.

See the following article for information on how to get started in this.
EnumFonts function
