I dont follow exactly what you mean but what I would suggest as an alternative to accessing a file could be putting all the information into a buffer. Not sure if this is the path you are looking for though.

hi matt,
if i put my font info into buffer will it not be memory consuming.what i mean is if i want to display some title on video content, the font what i use should be taken from a file.instead i should avoid that and embedd into the program itself.
thanks

I don't know what the format of the font would be, but if you don't want to store it in a file, you could put it in an array of unsigned char:

unsigned char fonts[]={0x55,0x4b,0xef};

With the elements being the hex equivalents of the values of the different fonts.

Are you asking how to store files in a resource so that users cannot access them outside the program? Rob Marriott
