Description

TFontCharset represents the character set of a font.

Each Windows typeface supports one or more character sets, which indicate what characters can be written using the font. For example, most fonts that can represent japanese characters use a particular multi-byte character set.

Each font supports its own, unique set of character sets. Check with the font vendor to determine which character sets are supported.

The following table lists the predefined constants provided for standard character sets:
