I looked at your sample code. Nice workaround!

Thank you for the contribution.

Thanks for all the help.  I have posted a code snippet of a different approach that accomplishes what I was seeking in the code examples section.

Hello
The last release of QuickPdf library has 2 new functions that can do the trick
GetCanvasDC and LoadFromCanvasDC
first use GetCanvasDC to obtain a handle
then use PlayEnhMetatafile (GDI function) with this handle
finaly use LoadFromCanvasDC
At this momment , you have a handle on a loaded image you can draw anywhere in the pdf
read the last documentation for the parmeters.

Hi Rho!

I don't have anything from my help.
BTW: I'm doing this in my freetime.
Perhaps i've overseen something in your code but this don't give you the right to ... ;-)

If there's no help for you here (from users) you should go there:

Ingo,  did you take time to read the code I posted? 
 
I did add the font to the pdf:
  ArialFont:=doc.addTrueTypeFont('Arial',1);
 
I did select the font:
  doc.SelectFont(ArialFont);
 
I tested to make sure the font was selected before adding the metafile to the document:
  showMessage(doc.fontName);  // displays 'Arial'
  imgId:=doc.AddImageFromFile(s,0);
I have read the documentation.
 
I know you are trying to help but it seems you don't actually read the posts.

Hi Rho!

You can add some truetype fonts...
Additonally you have to select the font you want to use. Please keep in mind that you can add many fonts ... the one you have selected will be used for your next code parts. Please read the online documentation at www.quickpdf.org.

I haven't changed the font.  The original TChart font is Arial.  The metafile is Arial.  The font when QuickPDF renders is courier.

Thanks Ingo but I did not change the font in the metafile, I added the 'Arial' font to the pdf.  As you can see from the code I tried what was suggested and it does not work.]]> Thu, 09 Jul 2009 13:36:57 +0000 http://www.quickpdf.org/forum/metafile-problem_topic1135_post5272.html#5272 <![CDATA[metafile problem : Hi!You can&#039;t change the font...]]> http://www.quickpdf.org/forum/metafile-problem_topic1135_post5271.html#5271 Author: Ingo

Hi!

You can't change the font in the metafile!
You can look in the metafile to check the font ...
and you can use the same or a similar font with addtruetypefont to render the metafile-content onto a new pdf-document.
You can use a completely different font to render the metafile-content with another font onto the pdf.

Cheers, Ingo
