The problem is not font related.

 

The FitTextBox routine makes a call to a wraptext function that removes superfluous spaces, tabs and other common white space characters in an effort to make sure that the text will fit in the boundaries supplied.

 

Jan’s suggestion of using #160 in place of the spaces should work.

spacing?



I haven't tested this with the FitTextBox function, but wouldn't this just be a matter of selecting a Fixed Width font instead of a Variable Width font.

You could try to substitute the "normal" space with the ascii character 160.]]> Thu, 30 Mar 2006 16:56:25 +0000 http://www.quickpdf.org/forum/space-trimming_topic378_post1617.html#1617 <![CDATA[Space trimming : Hi, we&#039;re using QuickPDF...]]> http://www.quickpdf.org/forum/space-trimming_topic378_post1616.html#1616 Author: GregS

Hi, we're using QuickPDF around here and we're trying to dump some text from an RTF file into a PDF with the FitTextBox function. The problem we're encountering is that QuickPDF is "trim"ing spaces in the text. So if I have leading spaces to more a word over, the excess space (anything more than a single space or maybe 2 after a period) is cut, so input like:
Hello          World

Is rendered as:
Hello World

This is kind of inconvenient for what we're trying to do, is there a way to force QuickPDF to recognize the spacing?]]> Thu, 30 Mar 2006 15:48:08 +0000 http://www.quickpdf.org/forum/space-trimming_topic378_post1616.html#1616
