Re: [Wxart2d-users_dev] Using a2dTextGDS, and mem.chr

[klaas.holwerda <ng...@kl...>]

Hi,

The normal text object is a2dText, and you can set an a2dFont based on wxFont, samples enough to 
find how to that I think.
Unless you want to use ttf fonts, which really need a file, same as the chr fonts.

If you want that you need to push the executable directory to the FontPathList (see e.g. vdraws.cpp.)

Regards,

Klaas
