javascript thread: Reading Client Machine Font Names As Opposed to Font File Names


Message #1 by "Paul Mzandu" <paul.mzandu@x...> on Fri, 18 Jan 2002 14:36:15
I'm wondering if anyone out there can help me read Font TypeFace Name 
using any technology. Presently am able to read the file names themselves 
using the code below: Thanks to  Elliott M O'Hara

<script language="javascript">
function ShowFolderFileList(folderspec)
{
   var fso, f, f1, fc, s, t;
   fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
   f = fso.GetFolder(folderspec);
   fc = new Enumerator(f.files);
   s = "";
   for (; !fc.atEnd(); fc.moveNext())
   {
	  t = fc.item();
	  t = fso.GetFileName(fc.item());
	  t = t.substr(0,t.length)
	  s += t;
      s += "<br>";
	 
   }
fc.moveFirst()
return(s);

}

document.write(ShowFolderFileList("C:\\Windows\\Fonts"))

</script>

However this will not work for me since what I need is to apply it to my 
document after selecting the FontFace from a ListBox.

Thanks In Advance

Paul
