C++ The name of font being used

[Pashers]

Hi there,

I'm allowing the user to select a font which saves the selected font as a HFONT. How would I get the name of the font being used? E.g. Times New Roman.

Thanks,

LOGFONT lf;
GetObject(hFont, sizeof(lf), &lf);

lf.lfFaceName contains the name of the font

See MSDN help on GetObject and the LOGFONT structure for more details.
