Hi all...
1) Looking for pointers on generating a list of the installed
fonts, returning each fontname as would be used in HTML
or CSS code.
2) Also, is there a way with FP VBA to copy a block of formatted
text and then paste it back in as a bitmap, or even a PNG?
In Word, for example, there used to be a Copy As Picture
feature, and a Paste Special option for pasting a bitmap.
There's a Paste Special as Picture option, but the object
created isn't a pixel object, but a composite drawing object
containing the original font information.
In Excel, however, you can select some text, press Shift,
and choose Copy Picture--a dialog then appears giving
you the option of copying as a bitmap (by which they
mean a BMP, right?).
OK, fine. I can do this in Excel, via generalization of the
code
Sub SetFont()
With Selection.Font
.Name = "Trebuchet MS"
.Size = 9
End With
Selection.CopyPicture Appearance:=xlScreen, Format:=xlBitmap
Range("D5").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
End Sub
And then save the sheet as HTML and import it into
FrontPage. HOWEVER, there's a lot of VML code in there,
with the font pics saved as PNGs...good...hmmm...
what's the best known way to convert VML into some
approximation of standard HTML?
Thanks and regards,
