Post subject:  How to embed font in pdf?

Hi,

I have troube with some pdf files. If I create a pdf with pdfsharp and Im using a special font, a font that is just on my system and nowhere else, the created pdf is looking different on other systems. Im doing something like this:

Code:
gfx.DrawString("my string", new XFont("some special font", size), ...);


I think its because you cannot display a font if its not installed on your system. So on a system where this "special font" is not available the pdf is just displaying another standard font. How can I avoid this? Is there a way to embed a font in the pdf? I dont want to convert a font to an image and insert the image into the pdf, because its not more a vector graphic. Some suggestions? Thx

Hi!

Use XPdfFontOptions.

See the Unicode sample:
