get/set standard fonts in the pdf

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

I have couple of questions related to font handling.

Q#1:
I am unsure how to identify the standard fonts in existing pdf document 
My pseudocode looks lik this: (c#)

selectDocument(mydocid);
int iFontCount = FindFonts();
for (int i = 1; i <= iFontCount; ++i)
{
      int fontid = getFontId(i)
      selectFont(fontid);

      // here I would like to know if the the font that I just selected belongs to the
      // standard font as they are described in "AddStandardFont" function
      // ?
}

Q#2:
following two lines in respect to the same selected document
int fid1 = AddStandardFont(4);
int fid4 = AddStandardFont(4);
produce two different font ids. I would expect that subsequent addition of a standard font should
return the id of the previously added font. Am I wong here?

Thanks

	Hi Toran! Before the loop you have to call ONE TIME FindFonts to get all used fonts. The next step is FontCount for your loop. With GetFontID you'll get the ID of the selected font in your loop. With FontName and (for example) FontType you'll get name and type of the selected font in your loop. Here you'll find all font-related functions: http://www.quickpdflibrary.com/help/quickpdf/Fonts.php Cheers, Ingo
