Font Linking Registry Settings (Windows CE 5.0)
The following registry key links a base font to a link font. In this code example, the OS design developer selected MSGothic, a Japanese-specific font, when building the run-time image. When searching for a character, the base font is searched first followed by the linked font. This enables you to support a larger variety of characters in a font without switching.
For a more information about these settings, see Enabling Linked Fonts.
