Re: GetFontUnicodeRanges() will not compile

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I tried forcing it another way
#define _WIN32_WINNT 0X500
This compiles and runs, but, it seems to tell me that every
font has 224 glyphs and 22 unicode ranges.

You probably have the wrong platform SDK. Cutting and
pasting is usually considered a bad
idea, because it is supposed to work "out of the box".
For example, by cutting and
pasting, you caused the C++ compiler to think this was a
C++ method. You can tell this
instantly by looking at the name of the method; it has C++
name decoration on it. If it
were trying to link to the API and got an undefined
symbol, it would have said that the
symbol GetFontUnicodeRanges was undefined. Show the
declaration; it is almost certain you
did not copy it precisely as in the SDK. Or by the time
your copied-and-pasted definition
was seen, key macros required for correct compilation were
no longer defined.

If you ever find a definition in a header file and you get
an undefined symbol when trying
to use it, it means you have the wrong conditionals set.

What are the various constants sent in your stdafx.h,
and
are you using a Win2K or higher
platform SDK?
