Embedded TrueType Font gives wrong characters

Hi all,

    I am getting some strange behavior with a document I have.

    I am selecting one of the Fonts which reports to be embedded in the Document as FontType = 4. The FontName reports as "BAAAAA+Arial-BoldMT" (which by convention of "(6 alphanum)+" should be embedded in the document). When I select that Font, or any other embedded one for that matter, the characters I draw using DrawText() come out as totally different characters.

    The same code works fine in other documents, for example the QuiclPDF Reference Guide.

    Any clues as to what could be different with this document? Font Encoding perhaps? I have tried to set that to a couple of different values to no avail.

    I am testing with the following PDF: http://help.joomla.org/ghop/feb2008/task048/joomla_15_quickstart.pdf

    For exmaple, the following sentence:

"Joomla! 1.5: Quick Start Guide"

    comes out as:

"      w L2h                               "

    Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Thanks,

Ando.

Hi Ingo,

    Thanks for your reply. Is there a known problem with documents created by OO Writer? Is it just a matter of selecting a different Encoding? Or is this maybe a Unicode issue? I am seeing the Fonts, it just seems that the Char Glyphs don't line up when I DrawText and that I get the wrong Glyph.

Thanks in advance,

Ando.

Hi Debelke,

    If I try to write the same string as is there now, it comes out with incorrect Glyphs. I extracted the text and it is correct, I then try to do DrawText() with that SAME string, and it is illegible. I have tried GetSubsetFont() also, and that only returns what I send in, so no remapping of characters. Could it be that I am somehow needing to use Unicode strings into DrawText()? I am using C# with the ActiveX library.

Thanks in advance,

Ando.
