Fixed Spacing Fonts

Brooks_Van_Horn · ‎02-02-2017

Since I've moved to IVF 2017 Composer Edition, my fixed width fonts don't seem to be fixed with anymore. They displayed correctly under 2016 version. Any suggestions? I'm running under vs 2013 community. I'm using Coutier New.

Thx,

Brooks

Is this while editing your Fortran source, or in an application that you've written?

Brooks_Van_Horn · ‎02-03-2017

Ian, This is in a graphical application that I wrote, which worked fine in v2016 but not in v2017. All on a Win 10 Intel i7 computer with 32 GB RAM and 3 TB HDs.

Did you also change Visual Studio versions? I'm struggling to imagine any aspect of the Fortran product install that would have an effect on fonts. Can you come up with a small sample application that shows the difference? Screenshots (before and after) would also help.

The code snioit is:

      write(Info(3),150) avg
      write(Info(4),151) sqrt(cm2)
      write(Info(5),152) LnK
      write(Info(6),154) Mean2
      write(Info(7),155) Lower
      write(Info(8),156) Upper
      write(Info(9),158) AbsErr
      write(Info(10),159) Mode2
      write(Info(11),160) Median
      write(Info(12),161) Skew
      write(Info(13),162) Kurt
      write(Info(14),163) Cntr
      write(Info(15),164) Beta2
      write(info(16),165) Kappa
      call Date_And_Time(Date, Time, Zone, Values)
      write(Info(17),166) values(5), values(6), values(7)
      write(Info(18),167) values(3), values(2), values(1)
 150  format('Mean: ', sp, es15.7)
 151  format('Sigma:', sp, es15.7)
 152  format('Ln K: ', sp, es15.7)
 154  format('Mean2:', sp, es15.7)
 155  format('Lower:', sp, es15.7)
 156  format('Upper:', sp, es15.7)
 158  format('AbsErr:',sp, es14.1)
 159  format('Mode2:', sp, es15.7)
 160  format('Median:',sp, es14.7)
 161  format('Skew: ', sp, es15.7)
 162  format('Kurt: ', sp, es15.7)
 163  format('SubDiv:', i10 )
 164  format('Beta2:', sp, es15.7)
 165  format('Kappa:', sp, es15.7)
 166  format('Time:       ', i2.2, ':', i2.2, ':', i2.2)
 167  format('Date:     ', i2.2, '/', i2.2, '/', i4)

And using vs 2013 I got attachment 1 with IVF 2016 Composer edition and Picture 2 with 2017 ivf.

Hello

It seems that the problem lies in the output panel.

andrew_4619 · ‎02-04-2017

Are info(xx) and array of character strings? If so how are those written to the screen? What font selection process is used?

Brooks_Van_Horn · ‎02-04-2017

Andrew, per your request:

IanH · ‎02-04-2017

Inside the function that creates the font, there are a number of logical variables and literal constants being assigned to integer components. That's fragile.

JVanB · ‎02-04-2017

The first problem is that that STDCALL attribute mungs up the value that gets passed to faceName in function CreateSimpleFont. This is further complicated by the fact that you don't ask for a monospaced font via logfont%lfPitchAndFamily. I have taken the liberty to rewrite your function with a structure constructor, which I consider much safer than separate assignments to members. Also I have written code that extracts the name of the font that actually gets used. Please experiment with my example a little so that you can more clearly see what's going on.

module M
   use IFWIN
   implicit none
   contains
      function CreateSimpleFont(faceName, size, bold, italic)
!!DEC$ ATTRIBUTES STDCALL, ALIAS: 'CreateSimpleFont' :: CreateSimpleFont

         logical, intent(IN) :: italic

         type(T_LOGFONT) logfont

         logfont = T_LOGFONT( &
            lfHeight = size, &
            lfWidth = 0, &
            lfEscapement = 0, &
            lfOrientation = 0, &
            lfWeight = merge(FW_BOLD,FW_NORMAL,bold), &
            lfItalic = merge(TRUE,FALSE,italic), &
            lfUnderline = FALSE, &
            lfStrikeOut = FALSE, &
            lfCharSet = ANSI_CHARSET, &
!            lfOutPrecision = OUT_DEFAULT_PRECIS, &
            lfOutPrecision = OUT_TT_ONLY_PRECIS, &

            lfFaceName = transfer(faceName,logfont%lfFaceName))
write(*,*) logfont%lfFaceName(:index(logfont%lfFaceName,achar(0))-1)
         CreateSimpleFont = CreateFontIndirect(logfont)
      end function CreateSimpleFont
end module M

program P
   use IFWIN
   use M
   implicit none
   integer :: mas(5) = [12,16,20,24,36]
   integer(HANDLE) hMyFont(size(mas))
   logical :: bold(5) = [.FALSE.,.FALSE.,.FALSE.,.TRUE.,.TRUE.]
   integer i
   do i = 1, size(mas)
      write(*,*) i,mas(i)
      hMyFont(i) = CreateSimpleFont("Courier New"//achar(0),mas(i),bold(i),.FALSE.)
      BLOCK
         type(T_LOGFONT) logfont
         integer result4
         integer(HANDLE) DC
         integer(HANDLE) hGDIobj
         character(32) TextFace

         DC = GetDC(NULL)
         hGDIobj = SelectObject(DC,hMyFont(i))
         result4 = GetTextFace(DC,len(TextFace),TextFace)
         write(*,*) TextFace(:index(TextFace,achar(0))-1)
      END BLOCK
   end do
end program P

EDIT: Reading the ifort docs, it looks like you could have unmunged faceName by changing your attributes to

!DEC$ ATTRIBUTES STDCALL, REFERENCE, ALIAS: 'CreateSimpleFont' :: CreateSimpleFont

That REFERENCE attribute on the enclosing function and not on the argument means that the whole actual argument gets passed along with its LEN. If you need the other arguments to get passed by value, you would then have to say so with another !DEC$ ATTRIBUTES statement. I forget whether this makes the calling convention actually different for them, because ifort has two ways to pass by value.

It seems that you were just picking up the first font on a list, and when you installed software, another font got ahead of the one you like on the list. Had you gotten zapfdingbats on the first try, you would have known something was wrong right away!

A comment to Repeat Offender post #10,

I understand the program P can be build as a console application, so for my own curiosity I copied the text and tried to build it, - without success. Would be nice if you had a look at the logfile attached and commented back..

The "small button" you refer to, I cannot see, is in VS ?

JVanB · ‎02-27-2017

I pretty much never use Visual Studio. Everything from the command line. The small button I was referring to is the one that appears when you move the mouse cursor over my Fortran code in Quote #10. You have to be logged in to the forum to see it, I think. Clicking on the leftmost of the 3 choices there gives you an about:blank window from which you can copy the code cleanly with <CTRL>+A, then <CTRL>+C, and then paste into your Fortran source, SetFont.f90.

However, your source looks pretty clean so you evidently did this already or something equivalent but more tedious. The problem as best as I can judge is that you are using a relatively old version of Intel Fortran:

Compiling with Intel(R) Visual Fortran Compiler XE 14.0.4.237 [IA-32]...

That may be old enough that the BLOCK construct was not supported. I don't know how to determine when such support was added, but that's my best guess without a lot more research on my part.
