metafile problem

I have a report that has a TChart that I save as a enhanced windowMetafile.  When I load it into the QuickPDF document the font (Arial) does not remain as saved.  I have the emf files showing that the saving component (TChart) saves it correctly.  When read back into quickPDF it is not Arial (courier instead) and some of the axis titles should be vertical but instead are horizontal.  Am I doing something wrong or is this a limitation of QuickPDFs metafile conversion?

 

    rcfTchart: begin
                 s:=getTempFile('.emf');
                 rcChart.SaveToMetafileEnh(s);
                 if not FileExists(s)then
                   showMessage('failed file create');
                 imgId:=doc.AddImageFromFile(s,0);
                 if imgID=0 then
                   showMessage('failed load');
                 if doc.SelectImage(imgID)=0 then
                   showMessage('failed Select Image');
                 doc.DrawImage(left,top,width,height);
                 used:=used+height;
               end;

I saved the metafile, then

 

  ArialFont:=addTrueTypeFont('Arial',1);

  doc.SelectFont(ArialFont);

  showMessage(doc.fontName);  // displays 'Arial'

  imgId:=doc.AddImageFromFile(s,0);

None of the fonts are changed.

Did I understand you correctly?

 

 

 

 

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:

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.
