Hi Ingo,

Works perfectly. Obviously helps to read the help file properly.

I will post a reply to the earlier thread just to point out that SetFontFlags is not the way to go.

 

Many thanks for your help.

 

Regards

 

MArk

Hi Mark!
 
This is from the help-file.
Try a font family with bold or whatever you want.
 
Cheers, Ingo
 
Function AddTrueTypeFont(FontName As String,
                         Embed  As Long) As Long
Parameters
FontName The name of the TrueType font to install. This can either be the name of the font
as shown in the Windows\Fonts folder (for example "Times New Roman Bold") or
it can be the font family name with an optional style specifier in square brackets
(for example "Times New Roman [BoldItalic]"). Possible optional specifiers are:
[Bold], [Italic] or [BoldItalic]. A codepage can also be specified (for example "Arial
[Bold] {1250}") which allows other encodings to be used. The only codepages
supported at the moment are 437, 850, 852, 1250, 1251 and 1255.
Embed Specifies whether to embed the font or not:
0 = Don't embed the font.
1 = Embed the font.
Returns
0 The font could not be added. This may mean that the font is not licensed to be
embedded, or that the font could not be found.
Non-zero The ID of the font that was successfully added.

Hi Ingo,
 
I have tried using setfontflags as recommended by another user in an earlier post. The code is:
 
id:=qp.AddTrueTypeFont(FontName, 1);
qp.SelectFont(id);
qp.SetFontFlags(0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1); //ie bold italic
 
 
This makes no perceptible difference to the font whne drawn.
 
Thanks

Perhaps it's better to post your code and then the other ones here can say what's perhaps wrong with it.

Hi Ingo,
 
I haven't been able to find an answer on the forum. But does this mean it can't be done or that no-one else has this problem.
 
Basically, if you add a truetype font how do you output the text for that font in bold or italics?
 
Does anyone know?
 
Thanks

Hi Mark!

I think you won't find an answer... I've used the search-function (here above) with "bold" ... and i've found your old postings in this case ;-)

Perhaps it's better to post your post and then the other ones here can say what's perhaps wrong with it.

Cheers, Ingo

Hi,
 
 
Does anyone have a code sample to show how to set the font to bold, italic etc.
 
I need to get this working with the standard pdf fonts and also with added truetype fonts.
 
Have tried SetFontFlags, but can't get it to work. Posted a snippet of code I was using a few weeks ago, but nobody was able to correct it.
 
I can't believe that no-one out there has managed to set font to bold, italic etc for truetype fonts.
 
Thanks for any help.
 
Regards
 
Mark
