How can I create an IDOMFont instance for a font file?

I'm using the Mako SDK and I need to create an IDOMFont instance for use in other APIs, but I can't see how to do this.

The font is an OpenType font and located locally on disk.

I've seen IInputStream, but I don't know how I can use this to create an IDOMFont instance.

Solution

  • The font instance can be created using the following API:

    static EDL_API IDOMFontOpenTypePtr create(IEDLClassFactory *pFactory, const IInputStreamPtr &stream);

    To use the API, you can use code similar to the following:

    IInputStreamPtr fontStream = IInputStream::createFromFile(jawsMako, "myfont.otf");
IDOMFontPtr font = IDOMFontOpenType::create(jawsMako, fontStream);
