font options?

[wsu-cb]

DoFontDialog() always specifies CF_NOVECTORFONTS and sometimes specifies CF_SCALABLEONLY. What are the reasons for these restrictions?

wxWidgets does not support CF_NOVECTORFONTS (but does support CF_SCALABLEONLY).

Way back in the dawn of Windows there was only one form of scalable fonts and those where the Vector style. They looked terrible so I screened them out. When fonts like TrueType showed up the UI still used non-scalable fonts to keep the screen nice and clean. I don't think that's true anymore.

In the case of the board maps I didn't want to allow bitmapped fonts because they scaled terribly.
