## Display Device Driver Reference for OS/2

[prev][next][parent][TOC]

### Initialization

The DBCS device fonts for display device drivers are provided by DBCS font drivers through the device driver font manager. Any DBCS-unique font resources are not bound in the display device driver in resource form.

The system font drivers for system fonts are loaded at initialization time by the font manager. The other optional font drivers can be registered and loaded by the user with WinDBCS APIs. The font drivers to be loaded are described in the OS2.INI profile as follows:

System Font Drivers

ApplicationName: PMNLSFNT

KeyName: font_driver_filename#1

String fully_qualified_pathname#1

KeyName: font_driver_filename#2

String: fully_qualified_pathname#2

Optional Public Font Drivers

ApplicationName: PMNLSFNT_FD

KeyName: font_driver_filename#1

String fully_qualified_pathname#1

KeyName: font_driver_filename#2

String: fully_qualified_pathname#2

The default settings for system font drivers are:

ApplicationName: PMNLSFNT

KeyName: PMNLSFD1

String C:\OS2\DLL\PMNLSFD1.FDR

Note that the device driver font manager supports only font drivers that provide both SBCS and DBCS font resources.
