The file path of the resource font file.
The name of the required font to add for use in the PDF document.
Set this parameter to true if you want to add the font in the bold style, otherwise set it to false.
Set this parameter to true if you want to add the font in the italic style, otherwise set it to false.
Set this parameter to true if you want to subset the font, otherwise set it to false.

Subsetting a font allows you to keep a file smaller, but note that the font subset is gradually updated with each use of the GdPicturePDF.DrawText method.

AddTrueTypeFontFromFileU Method (GdPicturePDF)

In This Topic
Adds an embedded TrueType or OpenType font from a file to the currently loaded PDF document according to a font file path and other parameters you have specified. The displaying of Unicode characters is supported when using the font added by this method.

)

Parameters

FilePath
The file path of the resource font file.
FileName
The name of the required font to add for use in the PDF document.
Bold
Set this parameter to true if you want to add the font in the bold style, otherwise set it to false.
Italic
Set this parameter to true if you want to add the font in the italic style, otherwise set it to false.
EnableSubset
Set this parameter to true if you want to subset the font, otherwise set it to false.

Subsetting a font allows you to keep a file smaller, but note that the font subset is gradually updated with each use of the GdPicturePDF.DrawText method.

Return Value

Returns a resource name of the specified font required for the next usage within the PDF document. The GdPicturePDF.GetStat method can be subsequently used to determine if this method has been successful.

This resource name you can subsequently pass, for example, to the GdPicturePDF.DrawText method, as well as to all methods, which have a font resource name as a parameter.

Remarks
This method is only allowed for use with non-encrypted documents.

It is recommend to use the GdPicturePDF.GetStat method to identify the specific reason for the method's failure, if any.

Example
How to add a TrueType font from the specified file to the newly created PDF document. The font resource name is subsequently used to draw some unicode text on the newly created page.
