Hi!

I don't understand your question but ... ;-)
QuickPDF offers support (rendering and so on) for OpenType fonts if they use CFF outlines.
As a standard there isn't the same support as it is for true type but ...
you can use AddOpenTypeFontFromFile. You'll get back an integer id (not zero) as result.
This id you can use with SelectFont as you can do it with true type.

Cheers, Ingo

Thanks Ingo - really I wanted to use the FontType ( http://www.quickpdflibrary.com/help/quickpdf/FontType.php - http://www.quickpdflibrary.com/help/quickpdf/FontType.php ) function to test whethet teh font was ttf or otf and wondered which result an otf would return.
