Luca,

Can you please create an EMF file from your program output which will help me see exactly what is happening.  GDI+ is quite complex to emulate and convert to PDF.  Rotation should be working.  Is it possible you are using negative angles ?  I will see when you send the EMF file.

HDC emfdc = CreateEnhMetaFile(GetDC(NULL), _T("C:\\test\\testEmf.emf"), NULL, "testing");

// Now pass this DOC to your print routine.

  CloseEnhMetaFile(emfdc);

Andrew

I am testing the demo version of the library for verifying if it fits our needs.

Our program is written in C and uses Win32 for printing.

I used the GetCanvasDC for obtaining a DeviceContext and i passed it to our current printing routine (that works fine with real printers).
Everything works quite well but text that should be narrowed is instead plotted with the full default width. Also rotated text are rotated clockwise instead of counterclockwise.

In our routine the narowed text is made by simply creating a logical font with CreateFontIndirect(...) specifying a .lfWidth different from 0 in LOGFONT structure.

The rotated text is made by simply specifying the angle (in tenths of degrees) in both .lfEscapement and .lfOrientation in LOGFONT structure passed to CreateFontIndirect(...)

Any idea?

Thanks

Luca
