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();
