RemoveFontResource info  Overview  Group

The RemoveFontResource function removes the fonts in the specified file from the Windows font table.

BOOL RemoveFontResource(

LPCTSTR lpFileName	// address of font-resource filename
);

Parameters

lpFileName

Points to a null-terminated string that names a font resource file.

Return Values

If the function succeeds, the return value is nonzero.

If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.

Remarks

An application that adds or removes fonts from the Windows public font table should notify other windows of the change by sending a WM_FONTCHANGE message to all top-level windows in the system. The application sends this message by calling the SendMessage function with the hwnd parameter set to HWND_BROADCAST.

If there are outstanding references to a font, the associated resource remains loaded until no device context is using it.
