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.

Does anyone have any ideas or direction on this?
Anyone know how to find the Character Mapping?

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):

Hi Ingo, I had not actually noticed the "Any Date" option before in the advanced search.
Thanks for the tip. I will go through the results.
Regards,
Ando.
