Thks, this example is very good, another question:

when you use getfont() fox shows a window withs everal control including a combobox with thw list of the available fonts, in the left of each item there is a picture such TT for true type, O for something that i don't know an Blank for the ones are not any of them, that is exactly what I need to know.

The quetion is : FONTMETRIC can tell me so? or, is there eny other way that you know?

thks a lot
