Sorry, you are right Ingo, but I guess I should have been clear that I meant a subsetted font.

What isn't 100% clear to me is that if I try to subset a font by name (e.g. "Tahoma", will QuickPDF handle it regardless of whether it is a TTF, OTF with TT outlines, or OTF with PS outlines?

Or do I need to manually check whether the font that my users have chosen is an OTF or TTF and add it accordingly using the *FromFile methods.

I've done some experimenting myself, but as you can see from my previous thread, I'm having trouble proving that even TTF fonts are being embedded as I require (my unfortunate suspicion is that text rendered to the CanvasDC isn't using the font when I subset it afterwards). I had hoped perhaps that some other user had more experience in this area and could clarify for me.

I've been using QPDF for over 2 years, and I've only posted a few questions here, so you can be sure I typically do all my own experiments and research unless I am truly stuck!

Hi!

Do you know what you can do with the reference guide ... ;-)

AddOpenTypeFontFromFile

Cheers (and sorry ;-)

Sorry to open an old topic, but I'm interested in an answer to this question as well - Are embedded OTF fonts supported with QuickPDF 8.13? What if they have Type1 outlines instead of TrueType outlines?]]> Wed, 22 Feb 2012 16:31:34 +0000 http://www.quickpdf.org/forum/is-it-possible-to-use-otffonts_topic1934_post9205.html#9205 <![CDATA[Is it possible to use OTF-Fonts : I need to use OpenType fonts (*.OTF)...]]> http://www.quickpdf.org/forum/is-it-possible-to-use-otffonts_topic1934_post8234.html#8234 Author: Abensberger

I need to use OpenType fonts (*.OTF) within my PDFs.
 
How can I add and use OpenType fonts with QuickPDFLib?
 
In the reference I only found:
 
AddCYKFont
AddStandardFont
AddSubsettedFont
AddTrueTypeFont
AddTrueTypeFontFromFile
AddType1Font
 
Sorry, if this question sounds silly to somebody, but I am a newbie in the fields of "fonts"
 
Kind regards
Abensberger
