SystemFontResolver(IEnumerable, String?) Constructor

Definition

Namespace Broadside.Fonts
Assembly Broadside.dll

Initializes a new instance of the SystemFontResolver class over the given directories, keeping what it reads of them in an index file so a later process reads no font file twice.

public SystemFontResolver(IEnumerable<string> directories, string? indexPath)

Parameters

directories
IEnumerable<String>

The directories, searched recursively, earlier ones first; missing ones are skipped.

indexPath
String

The index file, created (with its directory) after the first font asked for and rewritten whenever more font files have been read; null keeps nothing and writes nothing.

Remarks

The index records each font file read with its length and last write time; a file added, removed or changed since is read again, so the index never changes what is found, only how many font files are opened. An index that cannot be read (of another version, other directories, damaged) is ignored and replaced; one that cannot be written is skipped. Never throws for either.
