Thanks for the info Kellie. Your last comment brings up another
problem I was having. I've been trying out AddFontResourceEx thinking
maybe I'd be able to load some of the fonts that weren't working with
AddFontMemResourceEx. I was right. I've been able to load every font
I've tried so far including the Adove Type 1 fonts. Works great.
Based on that I'm wondering what the internal difference between
AddFontResourceEx and AddFontMemResourceEx is. Without the source code
this is pretty hard to do so I'm hoping someone here is able to answer
that question.
