TextCharset Property


Type	Default Value	Read Only	Description

String	"ANSI"	No	The charset to be used when returning fonts

	Notes

The charset to be used when detemining the fonts collection.

You are only likely to need to change the charset if you are drawing symbols or text from complex scripts such as Japanese, Korean and Arabic.

If you know the ID of your character set you can use that number. Alternatively you can use any of the following shortcuts:

ANSI
Default
Symbol
Russian
GB2312
Greek
Turkish
Baltic
Hebrew
Arabic
ShiftJIS

[Visual Basic]
Dim fontname As String Dim gs As New Gestalt gs.TextCharset = "Symbol" Response.Write("List of Symbol Fonts<br>") For Each fontname In gs.Fonts Response.Write(fontname + "<br>") Next

[C#]
Gestalt gs = new Gestalt(); gs.TextCharset = "Symbol"; Response.Write("List of Symbol Fonts<br>"); foreach (string fontname in gs.Fonts) { Response.Write(fontname + "<br>"); }

The above will produce something like the following output - depending on the fonts you have installed:
