'Load font file with Windows api Python

I was looking for a way to load a ttf file and print text with that font. While looking for some information, I found this question: load a ttf font with the Windows API

In that question they recommend adding a private font with AddFontResourceEx. But I didn't find any way to access such function with pywin32 module and ctypes.windll. Is there any way to access this function? Or failing that, another way to print text with a ttf font without using Pillow???

Next, I will leave a code so you can do the tests:

import win32print
import win32gui
import win32ui

hprinter = win32print.OpenPrinter("Microsoft Print to Pdf")

devmode = win32print.GetPrinter(hprinter, 2)["pDevMode"]

hdc = win32gui.CreateDC("WINSPOOL", printer, devmode)
dc = win32ui.CreateDCFromHandle(Self.hdc)

Edit

I managed to access the function with

ctypes.windll.gdi32.AddFontResourceExA

But now I want to access the FR_PRIVATE constant. How can I do it?

Edit 2

I found out that the function doesn't work even without that constant.
