how do i get a pointer to the default system font?

[AGSzabo]

at the moment i use

Code: [Select]

move.l intbase(pc),a0
move.l ib_FirstScreen(a0),a0
move.l sc_RastPort+rp_Font(a0),a5

but how do i get a pointer to the default system font?

[AGSzabo]

yes, thats why i ask. i need to know the font that a new window will get by default but prior to opening that window.

[AGSzabo]

Or do you really mean system font (used for console text)?

no. thank you.

[AGSzabo]

what if i want to know the default font prior to opening the screen for my app?

[AGSzabo]

ok, i am curious about "the other methods"?

[AGSzabo]

its really great that there IS response in the amiga scene! that amiga is alive! thank you for your very good answer!

i currently use LockPubScreen(NULL) and am curious if that works on systems with gfxcard, where there is no workbench but some other default screen that i will get by LockPubScreen(NULL) instead?

btw, why should i forbid while reading gfxbase?

[AGSzabo]

i doubt that something wonderfull will happen just in the same time when i access gfxbase or an existing screen. its more likely that you win lotto.
