IDWriteFactory::GetSystemFontCollection method (dwrite.h)
Gets an object which represents the set of installed fonts.
Syntax
HRESULT GetSystemFontCollection(
[out] IDWriteFontCollection **fontCollection,
BOOL checkForUpdates
);
Parameters
[out] fontCollection
Type: IDWriteFontCollection**
When this method returns, contains the address of a pointer to the system font collection object, or NULL in case of failure.
checkForUpdates
Type: BOOL
If this parameter is nonzero, the function performs an immediate check for changes to the set of installed fonts. If this parameter is FALSE, the function will still detect changes if the font cache service is running, but there may be some latency. For example, an application might specify TRUE if it has itself just installed a font and wants to be sure the font collection contains that font.
Return value
Type: HRESULT
If this method succeeds, it returns S_OK. Otherwise, it returns an HRESULT error code.
