###### (This function is part of SDL_ttf, a separate library from SDL.) # TTF_OpenFontIndex Create a font from a file, using a specified face index. ## Syntax ```c TTF_Font * TTF_OpenFontIndex(const char *file, int ptsize, long index); ``` ## Function Parameters | | | | -------------- | -------------------------------------------- | | **file** | path to font file. | | **ptsize** | point size to use for the newly-opened font. | | **index** | index of the face in the font file. | ## Return Value Returns a valid [TTF_Font](TTF_Font), or NULL on error. ## Remarks Some .fon fonts will have several sizes embedded in the file, so the point size becomes the index of choosing which size. If the value is too high, the last indexed size will be the default. Some fonts have multiple "faces" included. The index specifies which face to use from the font file. Font files with only one face should specify zero for the index. When done with the returned [TTF_Font](TTF_Font), use [TTF_CloseFont](TTF_CloseFont)() to dispose of it. ## Version This function is available since SDL_ttf 2.0.12. ## Related Functions * [TTF_CloseFont](TTF_CloseFont) ---- [CategoryAPI](CategoryAPI)
