Font.GetSizePart of Font module

Syntax   Font.GetSize : int

Description   Font.GetSize is used to get the next size in the list of available font sizes for a particular font name and style.

Font.StartSize must be called before any calls to Font.GetSize. After that, Font.GetSize returns the list of sizes, one per call. When there are no more sizes, Font.GetSize returns 0.

Some fonts are “scalable”. This means that the computer can scale the fonts to fit any given size. (Under Microsoft Windows and the Apple Macintosh, TrueType and PostScript fonts are scalable with the appropriate utilities.) In this case, Font.GetSize returns -1.

Example   See Font.StartSize for a program that lists all the fonts, styles and sizes available on the system.

Example   An example is available that displays full information about the fonts including name, styles, and point sizes.

Status   Exported qualified.

This means that you can only call the function by calling Font.GetSize, not by calling GetSize.
