Post subject:  Private fonts okay in WPF demo, need help using it in webapp
Hi, after reading the topics about using private fonts, i decided to switch from GDI+ to WPF version of PDFSharp.
I'm trying to use a specific font in our pdf document.
I adapted the demo app and it shows the font just fine.

My problem is that i need to use it in a web application.
There i allways get the exception "Font with the specified family name does not exist." (XPrivateFontCollection.cs line 248)

Is there a special need that i'm not aware of to get my font picked up ?

This is the code i'm using:
Code:
            XPrivateFontCollection globalFontCollection = XPrivateFontCollection.Global;
            // Without the following line of code the Uri constructor (see below) fails...
            new System.Windows.Application();
            Uri uri = new Uri("pack://application:,,,/");
            const string name = "./fonts/#Echelon";
            globalFontCollection.Add(uri, name);


Any help would be greatly appreciated !
Thanks, Alain.

Quickly answering my own question. Maybe it will help someone else.

The problem was that my webapp was creating the pdf in a separate assembly. It was also that assembly that contained the font i was using in it's resources.

So the Uri definition had to become
Code:
Uri uri = new Uri("pack://application:,,,/AssemblyName;component/");

where AssemblyName had to be the actual name of the assembly that contained the font resource.

Hope this helps someone.

For me it shows: System.UriFormatException: Invalid URI: Invalid port specified.
