This function does not process image pixels.
None
If bVector is VECT_TRUE then an empty vector font is created. The user is responsible for creating every glyph of such font. Otherwise, a complete TrueType font is created.
This function does not support the creation of User Fonts. ImageGear only allows the loading of User Fonts embedded within vector images.
Drawing can use two font types:
TrueType font - is created and controlled completely by the Drawing, based on the typeface name and weight. The user does not have access to individual glyphs of a TrueType font.
If an empty typeface name is specified (either in the source file or via the API) then the typeface name specified in the VECTOR.DEFAULT_FONT_FAMILY global control parameter will be used. If the value of this parameter is an empty string, then the font is selected by the system according to other font parameters.
