The PrivateFontCollection::AddMemoryFont method adds a font that is contained in system memory to a Windows GDI+ font collection.

Syntax

Status AddMemoryFont(
  [in] const VOID *memory,
  [in] INT        length
);

Parameters

[in] memory

Type: const VOID*

Pointer to a font that is contained in memory.

[in] length

Type: INT

Integer that specifies the number of bytes of data in the font.

Return value

Type: Status

If the method succeeds, it returns Ok, which is an element of the Status enumeration.

If the method fails, it returns one of the other elements of the Status enumeration.

Remarks

When you use the GDI+ API, you must never allow your application to download arbitrary fonts from untrusted sources. The operating system requires elevated privileges to assure that all installed fonts are trusted.
