Change font at runtime to a JPN font?

[peakdw02]

I am trying to identify a way to change the font for field objects on a report at runtime. Basically, what I am trying to do do is invoke a report using the CRPE API. When the default system langauge is set to Japanese then I want to want to update the font on the report to a font that is appropriate for Japanese. The report at design time will be geared for English users. I have run a couple of tests and if the default system language is Japanese and the field objects are set to a Japanese font then the JPN characters display correctly.

How can I change the font at runtime? Do I need to use the SetFont or PESetFont API method calls? I do not think that the PESetFont method is want I want because I think that refers to an actual print job.

Any advice would would be greatly appreciated!

TIA!

I think it is PESetFont.

This was all I could find on it:

PESetFont sets the font for field and/or text characters in the specified report section(s).

Do you have any example code for the PESETFONT method?

I have attempted to use the PE API calls but I cannot get the PESETFONT to work correctly it always returns a Failure code (0).

Any additional assistance would be greatly appreciated!

TIA!
