Load font from byte array

[joaquingrech]

I have a very old program using SharpDX and I want to migrate and update to Vortice. I've got everything working except for loading a custom font from a byte array.

I had something like this working before:

static internal class font
    {
        static internal SharpDX.DirectWrite.FontCollection get_font_collection(SharpDX.DirectWrite.Factory dw_factory, byte[] data)
        {
            ResourceFontLoader CurrentResourceFontLoader = new ResourceFontLoader(dw_factory, data);
            return new FontCollection(dw_factory, CurrentResourceFontLoader, CurrentResourceFontLoader.Key);
        }
    }

the 'Key' there was an old SharpDX.DataStream

Now, upgrading I have no idea how to achieve the same to be able to load that byte[] data which is a font data, into memory. I began with a simple

static internal class font
{
static internal IDWriteFontCollection get_font_collection(IDWriteFactory dw_factory, byte[] data)
{
ResourceFontLoader CurrentResourceFontLoader = new ResourceFontLoader(dw_factory, data);
// return new FontCollection(dw_factory, CurrentResourceFontLoader, CurrentResourceFontLoader.Key);
return dw_factory.CreateCustomFontCollection(
CurrentResourceFontLoader,
Cx,
y);
}
}

Key there is Vortice.DataStream but it does not seem to work. Also CreateCustomFontCollection has 3 parameters instead of 2 and I have no idea what to do. Anyone has example of custom loading fonts from byte data?

Can you share an example project please?
