Hi,
i need to type/draw text in Bengali (Bangla/Indic) Script.

after trying on many hours, i can't get it to work.

this is the code i am using:
        Dim qp As DebenuPDFLibraryDLL1411.PDFLibrary
        Dim drawstr As String
        Dim fontID1 As Integer
        qp = New DebenuPDFLibraryDLL1411.PDFLibrary("c:\Program Files\Quick PDF Library v14.11\DLL\DebenuPDFLibraryDLL1411.dll")
        drawstr = "; স্কাউট হওয়া ভারি মজা ;   ; তোমাদের জন্য মুক্তিযুদ্ধের গল্প ;"
        fontID1 = qp.AddTrueTypeFontFromFile("g:\fonts\SolaimanLipi.ttf")
        'fontID1 = qp.AddTrueTypeSubsettedFontFromFile("g:\fonts\SolaimanLipi.ttf", drawstr, 0) Rem this reutrn same text
        qp.SelectFont(fontID1)
        qp.DrawText(100, 700, drawstr)
        qp.SaveToFile("g:\test.pdf")
        qp = Nothing

and this is what i am getting:

sir, i have tried those links, i think link 2 is no use..

i have tried 65000 char example using ""Arial Unicode MS"" it returns garbage...

i have tried 65000 char example using truetypefont from file and used my font ""Arial Unicode MS"" it same as the sample in main post.

so, i think 65000 is not the fact/issue.

from the third link i have tried:

int fid1 = QP.AddTrueTypeSubsettedFont("Arial Unicode MS", "", 4);

it also returns garbase.. and if i use my font then it returns blanks text (nothing)

by the way.. i think there is something called shaping text character (it is what named in pdflib)..

and also this is (my text) indic/bengali text/script that required something called glyph.

is that something look familiar?

thanks in advance
beset regards

I have tried extracting the text from your PDF with both Debenu PDF Tools Pro and other tools I have, and the extracted text looks exactly as it is in your original posting. The same happens if I open the PDF in Word and Word creates an editable version. So this looks to me like a bug in the library, and I suggest that you open a support case with Foxit.
