Hi All,

I'm trying to create a SWT Font object from a ttf file. I don't want to
have to install the font into the os, I just want to be able to load it
from a file. I have done this befor in AWT/Swing, but I'm trying to find
out how to do it in SWT. I have not had any luck thus far, so can anyone
tell me how?

This is how I have done it in AWT/Swing:

InputStream in = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(fileName));
Font font = Font.createFont(Font.TRUETYPE_FONT, in);

So what I'm looking for is the SWT version of this same code.

Thanks for any response,
Michael

Please open a feature request in Bugzilla.
Be sure to say why you would want to do this.
