Raster Fonts Support (Windows CE 5.0)

Send Feedback

This Catalog item adds support for raster fonts to your OS design. A raster font is a font based on tiny bitmaps, each representing a single character and size. Because the bitmaps for each glyph in a raster font are designed for a specific resolution on a particular device, raster fonts are generally considered device-dependent.

For more information, see Working with TrueType and Raster Fonts.
