Hi,

Not sure if this is an error or just unexpected behavior on my part. When I use Iw2DCreateFontResource() I noticed it sets the new font as the current one. Is this supposed to happen? Unless I missed it, the documentation does not appear to mention this behavior.

Knowing you Airplay folks are usually busy... I can work around this. With having Iw2DSetFont() and Iw2DGetFont(), I was not expecting any other function to set the font. Wanted to bring this up in case it's an error.

Thanks,
Steven

This is intentional (so it

This is intentional (so it don't require a SetFont call if only one font exists). It should be documented though.

A quick mention in the API

A quick mention in the API reference under Iw2DCreateFont and Iw2DCreateFontResource such as "creates font and sets as the current one for drawing" is good enough for me.
