EOpenEngine

Acquire engine handle. (V47)

This function is similar to bullet.library/OpenEngine() but does not use a (hidden) "BulletBase" variable that may hold the library base of the wrong font engine if not set properly. It uses EEngine->ege_BulletBase as base of the font engine library to be called.

This function establishes a context for access to the bullet library or another font engine. This context remains valid until it is closed via ECloseEngine(). Each specific context isolates the specification of the various font attributes from other contexts concurrently accessing the same library. A context can be shared among different tasks if the caller uses a locking mechanism (e.g. Semaphores) that ensures that the context is not accessed concurrently and that e.g. a ESetInfo(), EObtainInfo() sequence cannot be interrupted by another task using the same context.

EEngine

pointer to a struct EGlyphEngine that does contain a pointer to the library base of the font engine acquired via OpenLibrary() in EEngine->ege_BulletBase.

If TRUE, EEngine->ege_GlyphEngine contains a pointer to a struct GlyphEngine, if FALSE, EEngine->ege_GlyphEngine is NULL.
