 |
|
Hi,
I am creating a table and adding a paragraph object to each cell, then adding text to the paragraph objects, but I noticed that there is a property:
| Code: | | paragraph.Format.Font.Name = "Arial Unicode MS"; |
I can embed any ttf font in PDFSharp as i have already experimented with this as the project i am working on will require unicode language support. I have it working for PDFSharp, but i cant seem to find out how to do it for tables in MigraDoc?
If there is no way of embedding ttf fonts for use in MigraDoc objects, is there a workaround to create the table in MigraDoc, then add the text with PDFSharp BUT keep the word wrapping functionality of the MigraDoc paragraph object?
Thanks!
Mike |

Hi!
MigraDoc uses PDFsharp.
Font embedding works with MigraDoc, too.
No workaround needed.

so can i just create the embedded fotn object in PDFSHarp like this:
| Code: |
// Load in font
string fontFileName = @"C:\Users\sowemi\Desktop\ARIALUNI.TTF";
XPrivateFontCollection privateFonts = new XPrivateFontCollection();
byte[] fontData = File.ReadAllBytes(fontFileName);
privateFonts.AddMemoryFont(fontData, fontData.Length, "Arial Unicode MS", false, false);
XPrivateFont pfont = privateFonts.FindFont("Arial Unicode MS", false, false);
XPdfFontOptions fontOptions = new XPdfFontOptions(PdfFontEncoding.Unicode, PdfFontEmbedding.Always);
XFont xFont = new XFont(family, 18, XFontStyle.Regular, fontOptions, privateFonts);
|
And then use it in a MigraDoc table's cell like this:
| Code: |
paragraph.Format.Font.Name = "Arial Unicode MS";
|

Yes, but don't forget to pass the private font collection to the Renderer:
| Code: | DocumentRenderer renderer = new DocumentRenderer(document);
renderer.PrivateFonts = this.PrivateFontCollection;

I am now passing my privateFonts variable to renderer.PrivateFonts like this:
| Code: |
DocumentRenderer renderer = new DocumentRenderer(document);
renderer.PrivateFonts = privateFonts;
renderer.PrepareDocument();
renderer.RenderPage(gfx,1);
|
and I am creating the privateFonts object further up in my code like this:
| Code: |
XPrivateFontCollection privateFonts = new XPrivateFontCollection();
byte[] fontData = File.ReadAllBytes(fontFileName);
privateFonts.AddMemoryFont(fontData, fontData.Length, "Arial Unicode MS", false, false);
|
But when i put a unicode character into my table, it wont embed!
I looked at the fonts tab in the pdf's properties and its saying im using Arial Unicode MS, but its not embedded and its using Ansi encoding. Dont I have to create a MigraDoc.DocumentObjectModel.Font object and tell it to "always embed fonts" and "use unicode encoding" like I do with the PDFSharp XFont object? |

You specify this when creating the PdfDocumentRenderer.
Rendering to PDF goes like this:
| Code: | PdfDocumentRenderer renderer = new PdfDocumentRenderer(true, PdfSharp.Pdf.PdfFontEmbedding.Always);
renderer.Document = document;

OK I am now using PdfDocumentRenderer rather than DocumentRender as before, but it just isnt creating my table in the PDF now?
i am using this:
| Code: |
PdfDocumentRenderer renderer = new PdfDocumentRenderer(true, PdfFontEmbedding.Always);
renderer.Document = document;
renderer.RenderDocument();
