SimSun

I have a requirement to create a dynamic PDF using the SimSun font within a FormattedTextArea(fta) page element. I am adding the font family I created to the FontFaces collection of the fta, just I have for all the other fonts I have previously worked with. However, the output remains in English (actual font face is unknown). The fta text is as follows:

<font face='SimSun'>Test</font>

I know that I have everything setup exactly like my other fonts, and I have had success with other foreign fonts. Has anyone had any experience dealing with this font? Is there something special I have to do in order for it to render correctly?

Thanks,
Matt

Hello Matt,

If you are seeing the english text means the font you are using supports displaying the english. Please make sure that you are using a font which will show your desired text.

Following is the sample code in order to use the font faces.

        Document document = new Document();
        Page page = new Page();
        string strHtmlText = "<font face='SimSun'>ceTe</font> Support";
        TrueTypeFont sim = new TrueTypeFont("simsun.ttf");
        FontFamily simsun = new FontFamily("SimSun", sim);
        FormattedTextArea area = new FormattedTextArea(strHtmlText, 10, 10, 215, 200, FontFamily.Times, 12, true);
        area.FontFaces.Add(simsun);
        page.Elements.Add(area);
        document.Pages.Add(page);
        document.DrawToWeb();

Thanks,
