How to use Opentype font on Microsoft Azure?

[julians26]

I have installed an OpenType font on my PC and generated a PDF using it. The problem arises when I need to deploy the solution to Microsoft Azure, where I don't have access to install the font. Is there a recommended procedure for achieving this?

Thanks
Julian

Hi Julian,

Thanks for your inquiry.
Please edit the web.config file in your application likes this:

Code: Select all

<configuration>
  <system.webServer>
    ...
    <!-- Allow our OpenType font files to be served. -->
    <staticContent>
      <mimeMap fileExtension=".otf" mimeType="font/otf" />
    </staticContent>
    ...
  </system.webServer>
</configuration>

Thank you, yes, the issue has been resolved using

Code: Select all

PdfTrueTypeFont font = new PdfTrueTypeFont(HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/Content/Fonts/myfont.otf"), 13.5f);

in the code and modifying the Web config as you suggested.
