Using custom font when Convert Text to PDF

[cspi]

hi,
I using Spire.PDF Professional.
When I looked up the documentation, I could only use a few system fonts when converting text to pdf (Helvetica, Times Roman...)

ex)
PdfFont font = new PdfFont(PdfFontFamily.Courier, 10);

Can I use custom fonts when I convert text to PDF?

ex) WingDings, Verdana, ....

Hello,

Thanks for your inquiry.
Yes, you can use the custom font while converting text to Pdf. Below is sample code for your kind reference. If there is any confusion, welcome to write back.

Code: Select all

string text = File.ReadAllText("Sample.txt");
PdfDocument doc = new PdfDocument();
PdfSection section = doc.Sections.Add();
PdfPageBase page = section.Pages.Add();

//If your system has the fonts(WingDing,Verdana...) installed, please directly use below method to specify the font name.
System.Drawing.Font font = new System.Drawing.Font("Wingdings", 14f);
PdfTrueTypeFont trueTypeFont = new PdfTrueTypeFont(font,true);

//If your system doesn't install the fonts, please use below method to specify the font file path.
//String fontFileName = "C:\\Wingdings.ttf";
//PdfTrueTypeFont trueTypeFont = new PdfTrueTypeFont(fontFileName, 14f);

PdfStringFormat format = new PdfStringFormat();
format.LineSpacing = 20f;
PdfBrush brush = PdfBrushes.Black;
PdfTextWidget textWidget = new PdfTextWidget(text, trueTypeFont, brush);
float y = 20;
PdfTextLayout textLayout = new PdfTextLayout();
textLayout.Break = PdfLayoutBreakType.FitPage;
textLayout.Layout = PdfLayoutType.Paginate;
RectangleF bounds = new RectangleF(new PointF(0, y), page.Canvas.ClientSize);
textWidget.StringFormat = format;
textWidget.Draw(page, bounds, textLayout);
doc.SaveToFile("TxtToPDf.pdf", FileFormat.PDF);
