SetMapperFlags function (wingdi.h)

The SetMapperFlags function alters the algorithm the font mapper uses when it maps logical fonts to physical fonts.

Syntax

DWORD SetMapperFlags(
  [in] HDC   hdc,
  [in] DWORD flags
);

Parameters

[in] hdc

A handle to the device context that contains the font-mapper flag.

[in] flags

Specifies whether the font mapper should attempt to match a font's aspect ratio to the current device's aspect ratio. If bit zero is set, the mapper selects only matching fonts.

Return value

If the function succeeds, the return value is the previous value of the font-mapper flag.

If the function fails, the return value is GDI_ERROR.

Remarks

If the dwFlag parameter is set and no matching fonts exist, Windows chooses a new aspect ratio and retrieves a font that matches this ratio.

The remaining bits of the dwFlag parameter must be zero.
