Private Fonts

Private Fonts

In the vast majority of cases no additional programming effort is required to utilise a TrueType/OpenType font. However, there may be instances where a font is not or cannot be installed in the Windows Fonts directory. FO.NET is still capable of using this font as a private font.

Private fonts are added via the PdfRendererOptions class as shown below.

{code:c#} void Example() { // Add private font not installed in Fonts directoryPdfRendererOptions options = new PdfRendererOptions(); options.AddPrivateFont(new FileInfo(@"\server\fonts\specialfont.otf"));

// The driver defaults to a PDF renderer
FonetDriver driver = FonetDriver.Make();
driver.Options = options;
driver.Render("hello.xml", "hello.pdf");

} {code:c#}
