A follow up on my previous post. 25569 is the number of days (including leap days between 1900 and 1970. Since your date begins on 1904 you would need to add 1461 (365.25) to your number to match the start dates.

I can read other data from the 'head' table in the font file correctly but not the timedate issue The spec has the following description (http://www.microsoft.com/typography/otspec/head.htm) Format LONGDATETIME which is Number of seconds since 12:00 midnight, January 1, 1904. 64-bit integer I am creating an array of word to read this structure with the following longDateTime = array[0..3] of Word; I am aware of the swapped words issues. One font has date 06/08/1990 and time 14:54:50 The hex dump in the file is 00 00 00 00 A2 E3 27 2A Can anybody please help/explain how I can get above date/time from this hex dump? kind regards Neil _______________________________________________ Delphi mailing list Delphi@elists.org http://lists.elists.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/delphi _______________________________________________ Delphi mailing list Delphi@elists.org http://lists.elists.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/delphi
