Hello,

PB 2019 R3, Win 10

I used to read registry (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts) value to list of available fonts in a drop-down datawindow.  It's working fine in Windows 7, but not in Win 10.

Few of our customers used to install few fonts of their choice, which also to be listed in the dropdown datawindow.  In Win 7, all those fonts installed by users gets listed, but NOT in Windows 10.

Is there any other way(s) to list all available fonts?

Happiness Always

There is an EnumFontsW Windows API function, but it requires use of a callback function that makes it more difficult to use from PowerBuilder.

Fonts can now be installed local to an individual user in addition to system-wide, so perhaps this is what is causing your issue.

In addition to looking in the registry here:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts

you can also check here:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts

HTH, John
