Creating and using a mirror font

I have a need to create a character string in a mirror font, I see the functions CreateMetaFont ( ,ex, and withCharacterSet) and was wondering if it is possible to create a character set with mirrored letters that can be used by the function CanvasDrawTextAtPoint?

 

Thanks!

Hey KenRo,

 

From what I can see, there's no way to create a mirror font with CreateMetaFontEx. What I would suggest is adding a font to your system with this mirroring and then using that, rather than trying to create your own programatically

Yes,  that is what I did.  I found a font which has mirrored letters, installed it on the system, and then was able to use it by name. Thank you.
