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
  • Hangeul
  • Hangul
  • ChineseBIG5
  • Johab
  • Vietnamese
  • Thai
  • EastEurope
  • Mac
