Embeding TT Fonts

1. offizieller Beitrag

    In a seperate message I posted:
    My program uses the EM_FORMATRANGE windows message to print dozens of RichText controls to the printer. When I print to the PDF control's HDC, the information is correct, but the font is substituted. I have tried setting the PDF_FontMode property to the various enumerated properties to no avail.

    Jazzman Wrote back and asked if I had "Use Local Fonts" option turned on in Adobe Reader.

    When it is on the doc looks great but I need to send this to people that do not not have our fonts. I need to embed them. Since I am using API print routines (EM_FORMATRANGE message) I don't think they are being embedded into the pdf.

    I am using the DLL not the OCX

    Any help would sure be appreciated.

    Hi,

    I assume you are using the wPDFControl.DLL (not wPDF VCL) so I moved this post.

    You can select the font embedding using


    WPDF_SetIProp( env,
    WPPDF_USEFONTMODE, // = 4
    1);

    The options for the last parameter are (starting with 0) wpUseTrueTypeFonts, wpEmbedTrueTypeFonts,
    wpEmbedSymbolTrueTypeFonts, wpUseBase14Type1Fonts,
    wpEmbedSubsetTrueType_Charsets, wpEmbedSubsetTrueType_UsedChar

    Thank you for the reply. I didn't see those defs in the .h file.
    I tried it, but still no success. Did you read my previous post? I am using the EM_FORMATRANGE windows message to print "WYSIWYG". I never have to actually select a font into the hDC. Could that be the problem? I guess what I am asking is: How does the DLL keep track of which fonts to embed? Does it add it to a list when you do a TextOut function? I am not printing that way.

    Thank You. This is a great product!

    Yes, it does. It captures everything.

    It is possible that it is not able to load the font data of the font you are using. Which font are you isng - it must be a TT font.

    Did you check the PDF file if the fonts are embedded. Acrobat displayed 'embedded' in the font info.
