Embed a TTF font from a file

Aspose.PDF Product Family

Using Aspose.PDF 10.4

I have a .TTF font file in a resources folder of my application. It is not installed in the system, nor do I wish to do so. How do I embed the font and use it in a Document?

Thank goodness for ILSpy. I search through the Aspose.PDF dll for "font" and finally figured it out. Full namespaces below so you know where to get the methods and objects.


//create the font from a ttf file
Aspose.Pdf.Text.Font myFont =
Aspose.Pdf.Text.FontRepository.OpenFont("C:\temp\MyFont-Regular.ttf");
myFont.IsEmbedded = true;

//new doc, add a new blank page
Document doc = new Document();
Page page = doc.Pages.Add();

//use the font in a style
TextState style = new TextState();
style.Font = myFont;
style.FontSize = 12;
style.FontStyle = FontStyles.Regular;
style.LineSpacing = 4;

TextFragment frag = new TextFragment(sb.ToString());
frag.TextState.ApplyChangesFrom(style);
frag.IsInLineParagraph = true;
page.Paragraphs.Add(frag);

//save it
doc.Save("C:\temp\fontTest.pdf");
