Programmer Reference : Common Graphics : Using fonts : Obtaining the current font from a graphics context
Obtaining the current font from a graphics context
You can determine the font currently set in a graphics context using the getGCValues: method. In the following example, the GCFont valuemask is used to retrieve the current font. The information is returned in a new CgGCValues object. You can retrieve the CgFontStruct information by sending a queryFont message to the CgFont. You then obtain the actual string name of the font from the CgFontStruct.
| values font fontStruct fontName |
CgGC default
getGCValues: GCFont
valuesReturn: (values := CgGCValues new).
font := values font.
fontStruct := font queryFont.
fontName := fontStruct name.
