ID3DXFont Interface

The ID3DXFont interface is used to encapsulate the textures and resources needed to render a specific font on a specific device.

ID3DXFont Members

Begin
Prepares a device for drawing text.
DrawText
Draws formatted text. This method supports ANSI and Unicode strings.
End
Restores the device state to how it was when ID3DXFont::Begin was called.
GetDevice
Retrieves the Microsoft?Direct3D?device associated with the font object.
GetLogFont
Retrieves the attributes of the font.
OnLostDevice
Releases all references to video memory resources and deletes all stateblocks.
OnResetDevice
Should be called after the device has been reset.

Remarks

The ID3DXFont interface is obtained by calling the D3DXCreateFont or D3DXCreateFontIndirect functions.
The ID3DXFont interface, like all Component Object Model (COM) interfaces, inherits the IUnknown interface methods.
The LPD3DXFONT type is defined as a pointer to the ID3DXFont interface.
typedef interface ID3DXFont *LPD3DXFONT;
