Thanx Sly,

I already i have wrote my own font generator and renderer, but i cant see any point of creating several fonts for this if i can use the systems fonts, my application will have support for themes and will have text based applications (eg notepad, etc) and with these i would like to support custom fonts (eg Arial narrow for one, and times new roman for another) and i dont really want to generate 100's if not 1,000's of fonts for this and then have to ship them with every theme if i dont have to.

(been drinking so i hope this makes some sense :roll..

If its not possible then i will probably do a hybrid (a bit of both)
