I need to be able to switch between normal and bold fonts for different font sets, ie courier and helvetica. Is there a way for the PDF library to return what the current font is? I don't want to go from courier to helvetica bold by accident.

Hi hrdware,

You can use the SelectedFont function to determine the ID of the selected font.

So for example, if you add a font using the AddStandardFont function it will return a font ID if the font is successfully added. If you add multiple fonts keep track of the different ID's and then use the SelectFont function to which between the fonts. If you are not sure which font is selected then use the SelectedFont function to get the ID of the selected font.

I hope this helps.

Cheers,

- Rowan.
