FontSelectPopup

int FontSelectPopup (char title[], char sampleText[], int monospacedFontsOnly, char typefaceName[], int *bold, int *underline, int *strikeOut, int *italic, int *justification, int *textColor, int *fontSize, int minimumFontSize, int maximumFontSize, int showDefaultButton, int allowMetaFonts);

Purpose

Note  This function has been superseded by FontSelectPopupEx. Use FontSelectPopupEx to include Angle and Character Set options in the pop-up dialog box.

Opens a pop-up dialog box in which a user can specify font settings.

If the user cancels out of the pop-up dialog box or an error occurs, the function does not modify any of the input or output parameters.

Note  You can pass 0 to any of the output parameters to hide the selection of that parameter in the font pop-up dialog box.
