Fixed width font - Symbian C++ CEikLabel

Question

I want to change the font I am using in a CEikLabel on S60 device

I believe I can do the following

const CFont* aPlainFont = LatinPlain12();
aLabel->SetFont(aPlainFont);

where LatinPlain12 is one from this list..

Albi12
Alp13
Alpi13
Albi13
alp17
Alb17b
albi17b
alpi17
Aco13
Aco21
Acalc21
LatinBold12
LatinBold13
LatinBold17
LatinBold19 
LatinPlain12
Acb14
Acb30
Acp5

However, who can help me find out which ones from this list are fixed width.. Thanks :)

Answer 1

You may use the FontViewer application to view and find out which of the fonts are proportional and fixed-width.

Answer 2

Programatically, you can determine if a font is proportional using:

const CFont* myFont; 
// Initialize your font
// ....
TBool isProportional = (myFont->FontSpecInTwips().iTypeface.Attributes() & TTypeFace::EProportional);

BTW you might be better off enumerating the fonts on the device and/or using the logical font API than relying on the static font accessor functions.
