FontViewer is a freeware tool that displays all fonts available on a Symbian powered phone.

This is quite useful when developping new fonts and checking that they are correctly loaded by the font and bitmap server or just to check which fonts are available on which device.

Yes, I recompiled this version with the S60 v2.1 SDK. The current version will then not work on S60 v1 devices : I will correct as soon as I get a little bit more time (and create the S80 package as well).

I have updated to S60 package. (Sorry for the delay but the code was out-of-sync with a library it uses so that it runs on any Symbian platform). S80/S90 package are on their way.

Doesn't seem to work on the emulators either (eg Series 60 2.0/2.1 wins udeb).

I can complete the installation, but only if I persist through the warning: “Application not compatible with phone. Quit installation?”

No, none of the package above will work for the emulator. You can only use them on real phones.

PLEASE, could you place a download for the Siemens SX1, abling it to type GREEK fonts. It would be great to send text messages in Greek, instead of only receiving them! Thank you! (Series 60)

I have a S90 version running on emulator but not the device to test the package. If someone wants to beta-test this version, email me.....

Enumerate fonts available in the system

Hi Eric,

Would you explain how do you enumerate fonts available in the system? What system API do you use for that?

No problem, here is the function that retrieves the font list (taken from the fontviewer code):

/**
* Second phase constructor. Initialise the font list.
*/
void CFvModel::ConstructL()
{
 TTypefaceSupport *typeface;
 iFontCount = iCoeEnv->ScreenDevice()->NumTypefaces();
 for( TInt i=0;i<iFontCount;i++)
 {
           typeface = new TTypefaceSupport;
       User::LeaveIfNull(typeface);
           iCoeEnv->ScreenDevice()->TypefaceSupport(*typeface,i);
           User::LeaveIfError(iFont.Append(typeface));
 }
