ConvertStringToTextElements(string)

public static List<string> ConvertStringToTextElements(string textString)

Parameters

textString string

Returns

List<string>

ConvertTextElementToUtf32CodePoints(string)

Take a single text element ("grapheme cluster") as input, and return one or more Unicode code points. The code points are represented with signed ints since that is idiomatic for C#, even though they are always unsigned values.

public static List<int> ConvertTextElementToUtf32CodePoints(string textElement)

Parameters

textElement string

Returns

List<int>

CountMissingGlyphs(string, List<int>)

public static int CountMissingGlyphs(string fontName, List<int> standaloneCodePoints)

Parameters

fontName string

standaloneCodePoints List<int>

Returns

int

Detect(string)

Use the characters in the string to determine an installed system font most likely to support this character set. Returns the system Default font if an ideal font cannot be determined.

public static string Detect(string text)

Parameters

text string

Returns

string

Exists(string)

[Obsolete("To determine if a font exists, call GetTypeface() and check for null", true)]
public static bool Exists(string fontName)

Parameters

fontName string

Returns

bool

Exists(string, bool, bool)

[Obsolete("To determine if a font exists, call GetTypeface() and check for null", true)]
public static bool Exists(string fontName, bool bold, bool italic)

Parameters

fontName string

bold bool

italic bool

Returns

bool

GetCandidateFontsForString(List<int>)

public static List<string> GetCandidateFontsForString(List<int> standaloneCodePoints)

Parameters

Returns

string

GetStandaloneCodePoints(IEnumerable<List<int>>)

public static List<int> GetStandaloneCodePoints(IEnumerable<List<int>> codePointLists)

Parameters

codePointLists IEnumerable<List<int>>

Returns

List<int>

GetStandaloneCodePoints(string)

public static List<int> GetStandaloneCodePoints(string inputText)

Parameters

inputText string

Returns

List<int>

GetTypeface(string, bool, bool)

Returns a typeface for the requested font name and style. A cached typeface will be used if it exists, otherwise one will be created, cached, and returned.

Parameters

fontName string

bold bool

italic bool

Returns

SKTypeface
