The font will still be parsed // only on demand, but memory consumption is slightly higher, // so using Font.FromFile() should generally be preferred. // // NOTE 2: When different Font instances (created using any of the static ctors // mentioned above) are used to render text in a PDF, each instance will result // in embedding a separate subset of glyphs even if the glyphs are the same, // because DsPdf has no way of knowing that two different Font instances // represent the same physical font. So either make sure that only one Font instance // is created for each physical font, or better yet use the FontCollection class // to add the fonts you need, and specify them via TextFormat.FontName. public class FontFromFile { public int CreatePDF(Stream stream) { const string sample = "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog."; const string fnRegular = "NotoSerif-Regular.ttf"; const string fnBoldItalic = "NotoSerif-BoldItalic.ttf"; var fRegular = GCTEXT.Font.FromFile(Path.Combine("Resources", "Fonts", fnRegular)) ?? throw new Exception($"Could not load font {fnRegular}"); // Use the loaded font to draw some text: var tf = new TextFormat() { Font = fRegular, FontSize = 12 }; var doc = new GcPdfDocument(); var g = doc.NewPage().Graphics; g.DrawString($"Font {fRegular.FontFamilyName}, size {tf.FontSize}: {sample}", tf, new PointF(18, 72)); // We can change the font size: tf.FontSize += 2; g.DrawString($"Font {fRegular.FontFamilyName}, size {tf.FontSize}: {sample}", tf, new PointF(18, 72 * 2)); // We can tell DsPdf to emulate bold and/or italic style with a regular font: tf.FontStyle = GCTEXT.FontStyle.BoldItalic; g.DrawString($"Font {fRegular.FontFamilyName}, emulated Bold Italic: {sample}", tf, new PointF(18, 72 * 3)); // But of course rather than emulated, it is better to use real bold/italic fonts. // So finally, get a real bold italic font and print a line with it: var fBoldItalic = GCTEXT.Font.FromFile(Path.Combine("Resources", "Fonts", fnBoldItalic)) ?? throw new Exception($"Could not load font {fnBoldItalic}"); tf.Font = fBoldItalic; tf.FontStyle = GCTEXT.FontStyle.Regular; g.DrawString($"Font {fBoldItalic.FontFamilyName}, real Bold Italic: {sample}", tf, new PointF(18, 72 * 4)); // Done: doc.Save(stream); return doc.Pages.Count; } } }
