Ben,

Thanks for reporting the bug.  Option #4 is only very new and needed some extra testing.  The DrawHTMLTextBox function is quite complex and there are multiple places that needed character widths earlier than I expected.

This fix will be included in the upcoming 11.12 release due out in the next couple of days.  Keep an eye out for it.  

Andrew.

Hi AndrewC,

I've noticed that after using the new feature of AddTrueTypeSubsettedFont with option #4. There is a bug I might say, which is for the very first long string it encounters, the function "DrawHTMLTextBox" will not wrap up the text within the box width like before.

During testing for different text file, I've noticed there is always an overbound for the very first long string in the text that this function encountered, it will always produce an overbound of the box width limit. This is regardless of Unicode or Non-Unicode text files.

Could you take a look at that?

Thanks AndrewC for the new hint of using AddTrueTypeSubsettedFont with option #4. This is really a time-saving and useful option to deal with Unicode fonts. Tongue

AlexA,

All of the functions in the library are expecting Unicode strings and not UTF-8 strings.

A new option in 11.11 is the use of option 4 in AddTrueTypeSubsettedFont.

It is very new but it allows you to create a Font and the characters that are used will be added to the font automatically if they are available in the font.  This will allow you to mix multiple languages and not have to think about what subset to use.

  QP.SetHTMLNormalFont("Default", QP.AddTrueTypeSubsettedFont("Arial", "", 4));

Andrew.

Any ideas how I can use it for other languages ?
For example here's the file with text in Russian:

did you try something like this:

$iIDFont = $oQP.AddTrueTypeFont('Arial CE {1250}', 1)
$oQP.SelectFont($iIDFont)

AlexA_B, have you considered whether converting your raw text into rich text will support the other languages? I have not tried it for this example but found in an earlier project (Outputting rich text into a PDF form field), that rich text is able to contain more text info, font, size, style - bold, italic etc so may possible work for handling the Russian.]]> Wed, 17 Sep 2014 08:32:22 +0000 http://www.quickpdf.org/forum/create-pdf-from-a-text-file_topic2968_post12000.html#12000
