Initializing MLTE

You need to initialize MLTE before you can use any MLTE function except the two functions that display static text--TXNDrawUnicodeTextBox and TXNDrawCFStringTextBox . You should initialize MLTE at the same time you call other initialization functions for your application.

At the very least, to use MLTE your application must call the MLTE initialization function TXNInitTextension. On a more practical level, most applications need to provide users with a Font menu. So your application should set up the menu bar and the Font menu right after it calls the MLTE initialization function. To set up your application to use MLTE functions and provide users with a Font menu you need to do the following:

set up font descriptions
assign initialization options
call the MLTE initialization function
set up the menu bar
create a Font menu object
