I am trying to get IBM Websphere Studio working, and although I am making good progress I hit an odd problem with GetFontData, and I wondered why it is implemented as it is. The problem appears when I invoke one of Studio's wizards, and all the characters appear as solid black blocks. At the same time two messages appear saying that GetFontData is only implemented as a stub. Looking in objects/font.c I notice that GetFontData, unlike all the other TrueType only functions, sets unimplemented as the last error with GDI_ERROR, rather than simply saying there is no data (as for instance the TrueType metrics or the GetFontLanguageInfo APIs do). Is there a reason why this is implemented this way? Next I need to get the bottom of why Studio is trying to use TrueType fonts in the first place, and where is got the idea there were any, but that I think I will leave till the morning - its getting late.
