| Initializing the Font Manager | |
| InitFonts | Initializes the Font Manager. |
| Getting Font Information | |
| GetFNum | Gets the font family ID for a specified font family name. |
| GetFontName | Gets the name of a font family that has a specified family ID number. |
| RealFont | Determines whether a font is available or is intended for use in a specified size. |
| Using the Current, System, and Application Fonts | |
| GetAppFont | Returns the font family ID of the current application font. |
| GetDefFontSize | Determines the default size of the system font. |
| GetSysFont | Determines the font family ID of the current system font. |
| Getting the Characteristics of a Font | |
| FontMetrics | Gets fractional measurements for the font, size, and style specified in the current graphics port. |
| OutlineMetrics | Gets font measurements for a block of text to be drawn in a specified outline font. |
| Enabling Fractional Glyph Widths | |
| SetFractEnable | Enables or disables fractional glyph widths. |
| Disabling Font Scaling | |
| SetFScaleDisable | Enables or disables the computation of font scaling factors by the Font Manager for bitmapped glyphs. |
| Favoring Outline Fonts Over Bitmapped Fonts | |
| GetOutlinePreferred | Determines whether outline or bitmapped fonts are to be favored when the Font Manager receives a font request. |
| IsOutline | Determines whether the Font Manager would choose an outline font for the current graphics port to meet the specified scaling factors. |
| SetOutlinePreferred | Sets the preference for whether to use bitmapped or outline fonts when both kinds of fonts are available. |
| Scaling Outline Fonts | |
| GetPreserveGlyph | Determines whether the Font Manager preserves the shapes of glyphs from outline fonts. |
| SetPreserveGlyph | Temporarily changes the default behavior of the Font Manager, so that it does not scale oversized glyphs. |
| Accessing Information About a Font | |
| FMSwapFont | Returns a handle to a font and information about that font. This function is used by QuickDraw and other parts of the system software to access font handles. |
| Handling Fonts in Memory | |
| FlushFonts | Erases the Font Manager’s memory caches. |
| SetFontLock | Makes the most recently used font unpurgeable. You can use this function when you want a font to remain in memory for the sake of efficiency. |
| Iterating Through and Searching for Font Data | |
| FMCreateFontFamilyIterator | Creates a font family iterator that your application can use to access font family objects. |
| FMDisposeFontFamilyIterator | Disposes of the contents of a font family iterator. |
| FMResetFontFamilyIterator | Resets the options and positional state of a font family iterator. |
| FMGetNextFontFamily | Gets the next font family reference. |
| FMCreateFontIterator | Creates an iterator that you application can use to access font objects. |
| FMDisposeFontIterator | Disposes of a font iterator. |
| FMResetFontIterator | Resets the options and positional state of a font iterator. |
| FMGetNextFont | Accesses the next font object. |
| Accessing Font Family Objects | |
| FMCreateFontFamilyInstanceIterator | Creates a font family instance iterator that your application can use to access the member fonts associated with a font family. |
| FMDisposeFontFamilyInstanceIterator | Disposes of a font family instance iterator. |
| FMResetFontFamilyInstanceIterator | Resets the options for and positional state of a font family instance iterator. |
| FMGetNextFontFamilyInstance | Gets the next instance associated with a font family reference. |
| FMGetFontFamilyFromName | Returns the font family reference associated with a standard QuickDraw name. |
| FMGetFontFamilyName | Gets the standard QuickDraw font name associated with a font family reference. |
| FMGetFontFamilyTextEncoding | Obtains the text encoding used by a font family. |
| FMGetFontFamilyGeneration | Gets the generation of a font family. |
| Accessing Font Objects | |
| FMGetFontFormat | Gets the format identifier of a font. |
| FMGetFontTableDirectory | Gets the table directory for a font. |
| FMGetFontTable | Retrieves all or part of a data table for a font. |
| FMGetFontGeneration | Gets the generation of a font. |
| FMGetFontContainer | Gets the file that contains data for a font. |
| Converting Font Data | |
| FMGetFontFromFontFamilyInstance | Gets the font reference associated with a standard QuickDraw style and font family. |
| FMGetFontFamilyInstanceFromFont | Finds the font family reference and standard QuickDraw style associated with a font. |
| Activating and Deactivating Fonts | |
| FMActivateFonts | Activates one or more fonts. |
| FMDeactivateFonts | Deactivates one or more fonts. |
| FMGetGeneration | Retrieves the value of the generation seed. |
