Font Character Mapping

Hi all,
    I have a document I would like to add some content to.
    I have selected the Font, but this is a Subsetted Font.

    When I try to do a DrawText(), my characters come out all wrong, as the character mapping for the Font is not matched. For example, the Font has T = p, R = x, Y = s. When I try to DrawText("TRY");, I get "pxs" on the page.

    I have tried QP.GetSubsetString("TRY") after selecting the Font, but it returns "TRY". I am guessing this function works only with subsetted fonts I have added. I haven't added this Font, it was already in the Document.

    If I "GetPageText", I read the correct text, so QuickPDF must know the mapping somewhere.

    How can I get the character codes I wish to use in my DrawText() so that I get the correct characters out??

Thanks in advance,
Ando.

Hi!

Have a look in the font section of the online reference.
Some of the Add...-functions...?
Perhaps AddSubsettedFont?

BTW: I think you don't know the search-function above???
Do the time-unlimited search with AddSubsettedFont.
Here are the first results (and there are a lot more):
