GetCanvasDc w/RTF & Font Squishing

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi,

I'm trying to use the QuickPdf library to render some RTF text to a PDF document (using code from the  Knowledge Base), but I'm getting slightly undesired output.

I use a different component to accomplish this currently, but it doesn't support Type1 font embedding, which is why I want to change to QuickPDF for this job.

Here's a sample of the output from my current library:

And here's the result when using the same code with QuickPDF:

As you can see the fonts are squished vertically, resulting in an unpleasant appearance. Has anyone else experienced this and know of a way to correct/modify the behaviour?

Thanks a lot for any help,
Jason

	Seems to be a problem with 7.24...I tried 7.23 and the fonts look normal :(
