- // This sample shows how to create, initialize and use the FontCollection class,
- // which is the recommended way to manage fonts and use them when rendering texts
- // in Document Solutions for PDF.
- //
- // The main points to keep in mind, and the recommended steps to follow,
- // when using FontCollection with DsPdf:
- //
- // 1. Create an instance of the FontCollection class.
- // FontCollection is not a static class, you need an instance of it to use.
- // Also, it is a regular .NET collection of Font objects, so all usual
- // collection manipulation methods (Add, Insert, Remove etc) can be used on it.
- //
- // 2. Populate the font collection with fonts using any of the following methods:
- // - RegisterDirectory(): registers all fonts found in a specified directory;
- // - RegisterFont(): registers font(s) found in a specified file;
- // - Add(Font): adds a font instance that you created.
- // Note that registering directories or fonts with a font collection is a fast
- // and light-weight operation. The font collection does not actually load all font data
- // when directories or individual fonts are registered with it. Instead, it loads only
- // the minimal info so that it can find and provide fonts quickly and efficiently
- // when needed.
- //
- // 3. Assign your instance of the font collection to TextLayout.FontCollection (and to
- // GcGraphics.FontCollection if using GcGraphics.MeasureString/DrawString) so that
- // the correct fonts can be found.
- //
- // 4. In your text rendering code, select fonts by specifying font names (TextFormat.FontName,
- // the names must match exactly but the case is not important), and font bold and italic
- // flags (TextFormat.FontBold/FontItalic). If a suitable bold/italic version of the requested
- // font is found in the collection, it will be used; otherwise font emulation will be applied.
- //
- // 5. FontCollection methods and properties are thread-safe, so once your font collection
- // has been populated, you can cache and share it between sessions and/or modules
- // of your application. You do need to exercise caution when modifying and accessing
- // the font collection simultaneously from different threads though, as it may change
- // between a check of some condition on the collection, and action on that check.
- // For such cases the FontCollection.SyncRoot property is provided, and should be used.
- //
- // The code in this sample illustrates most of the points above.

- public int CreatePDF(Stream stream)
- {
- // Create a FontCollection instance:
- var fc = new FontCollection();
- // Populate it with fonts from the specified directory:
- fc.RegisterDirectory(Path.Combine("Resources", "Fonts"));
- // Generate a sample document using the font collection to provide fonts:
- var doc = new GcPdfDocument();
- var page = doc.Pages.Add();
- var g = page.Graphics;
- // For TextLayout/TextFormat to be able to use a font collection, it must be
- // associated with it like so:
- var tl = new TextLayout(g.Resolution) { FontCollection = fc };
- // Render some strings using the different fonts from our collection:
- var tf = new TextFormat() { FontName = "times new roman", FontSize = 16 };
- tl.Append("Using FontCollection to manage fonts and render text\n\n", tf);
- tf.FontSize = 12;
- tl.Append("Text rendered using Times New Roman regular font. \n", tf);
- // Setting a font style (bold or italic) will tell the font collection
- // to search for a suitable font (if it is not found, emulation will be used):
- tf.FontItalic = true;
- tl.Append("Text rendered using Times New Roman italic font. \n", tf);
- // Text format is applied to a text run when the text is appended,
- // so we can re-use the same format, modifying its properties
- // to render differently formatted texts:
- tf.FontBold = true;
- tl.Append("Text rendered using Times New Roman bold italic font. \n", tf);
- tf.FontItalic = false;
- tl.Append("Text rendered using Times New Roman bold font. \n", tf);
- tf.FontName = "segoe ui";
- tl.Append("Text rendered using Segoe UI bold font. \n", tf);
- tf.FontBold = false;
- tl.Append("Text rendered using Segoe UI regular font. \n", tf);
- // Apply page settings to the page layout and render the page:
- tl.MaxWidth = page.Size.Width;
- tl.MaxHeight = page.Size.Height;
- tl.MarginAll = 72;
- tl.PerformLayout(true);
- g.DrawTextLayout(tl, PointF.Empty);
- // If using GcGraphics.DrawString/MeasureString, this will allow the TextLayout
- // created internally by GcGraphics to find the specified fonts in the font collection:
- g.FontCollection = fc;
- // Use GcGraphics.DrawString to show that the font collection is also used
- // by the graphics once the FontCollection has been set on it:
- g.DrawString("Text rendered using Segoe UI bold, drawn by GcGraphics.DrawString() method.",
- new TextFormat() { FontName = "segoe ui", FontBold = true, FontSize = 10 },
- new PointF(72, tl.ContentRectangle.Bottom + 12));
- // Done:
- doc.Save(stream);
- return doc.Pages.Count;
