I have tried to make the PdfSharp support TTC font.
(Such as "MS Gothic", "MS PGothic", "MS Mincho",... etc).
Now, it works for my application.
I would like to share my tip.
I made changed at PdfSharp.Fonts.OpenType.FontData class. (Base on "PDFsharp & MigraDoc Foundation 1.32")
And then re-build PdfSharp.dll.
These following are the detail.
1. Modified CreateGdiFontImage() function.
2. Added a function, named CreateGdiFontImage(), in the class
3. Modified a constructor, FontData(XFont font, XPdfFontOptions options)
4. Removed an assert in Read() function.
1. Modified CreateGdiFontImage() function.
The current method retrieve font data from the beginning of the data for the currently selected font for TrueType Collection files.
It is cause of an exception that you will found when you try to use TTC font.
So, I modified it as this following code.
(more detail about GetFontData(), see
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/librar ... 85%29.aspx)
Code:
...
...
int size = NativeMethods.GetFontData(hdc, 0x66637474, 0, null, 0); // <--- Modified this line
error = Marshal.GetLastWin32Error();
if (size > 0)
{
this.data = new byte[size];
int effectiveSize = NativeMethods.GetFontData(hdc, 0x66637474, 0, this.data, this.data.Length); // <--- Modified this line
Debug.Assert(size == effectiveSize);
NativeMethods.SelectObject(hdc, oldFont);
NativeMethods.ReleaseDC(IntPtr.Zero, hdc);
error.GetType();
}
...
...
2. Added a function, named CreateGdiFontImage(), in the class.
Code:
internal void CorrectOffsetForTTC(XFont font)
{
this.pos = 0; // Reset offset
// Try to check if it is TTC file.
string sTTCTag = this.ReadString(4);
if (sTTCTag != "ttcf")
{
this.pos = 0; // Reset offset
return;
}
uint uiVersion = this.ReadULong();
uint uiFontCount = this.ReadULong();
bool bFoundFont = false;
for (uint uiFontIndex = 0; uiFontIndex < uiFontCount; ++uiFontIndex)
{
this.pos = (int)(12 + (uiFontIndex * 4));
this.pos = (int)this.ReadULong();
// Read offset table
uint nTempVersion = ReadULong();
uint nTempTableCount = ReadUShort();
uint nTempSearchRange = ReadUShort();
uint nTempEntrySelector = ReadUShort();
uint nTempRangeShift = ReadUShort();
TableDirectoryEntry nameTableEntry = null;
for (int idx = 0; idx < nTempTableCount; idx++)
{
TableDirectoryEntry entry = TableDirectoryEntry.ReadFrom(this);
if (entry.Tag == NameTable.Tag)
{
nameTableEntry = entry;
break;
}
}
if (nameTableEntry != null)
{
this.pos = nameTableEntry.Offset;
this.tableDictionary.Add(nameTableEntry.Tag, nameTableEntry); // Add for create NameTable
NameTable nametbl = new NameTable(this);
this.tableDictionary.Remove(nameTableEntry.Tag); // clear after used
if (nametbl.Name == font.familyName)
{
// Found font
this.pos = (int)(12 + (uiFontIndex * 4));
this.pos = (int)this.ReadULong();
bFoundFont = true;
break;
}
}
}
if (!bFoundFont)
{
this.pos = 0;
}
}
3. Modified a constructor, FontData(XFont font, XPdfFontOptions options)
Code:
public FontData(XFont font, XPdfFontOptions options)
{
#if GDI && !WPF
CreateGdiFontImage(font, options);
#endif
#if WPF && !GDI
CreateWpfFontData(font, options);
#endif
#if WPF && GDI
System.Drawing.Font gdiFont = font.RealizeGdiFont();
if (font.font != null)
CreateGdiFontImage(font, options);
else if (font.typeface != null)
CreateWpfFontData(font, options);
#endif
if (this.data == null)
throw new InvalidOperationException("Cannot allocate font data.");
CorrectOffsetForTTC(font); // <-- Added this line.
Read();
}
4. Removed an assert in Read() function.
Code:
...
...
// Read offset table
this.offsetTable.Version = ReadULong();
this.offsetTable.TableCount = ReadUShort();
this.offsetTable.SearchRange = ReadUShort();
this.offsetTable.EntrySelector = ReadUShort();
this.offsetTable.RangeShift = ReadUShort();
// Move to table dictionary at position 12
//Debug.Assert(this.pos == 12); // <-- Removed this line
...
...
When you do all of them, just rebuild PdfSharp.dll and enjoy with TTC font.
But, please noted that my modified works only GDI+ mode.
And I don't yet test it with other TTC font then msgothic.ttc.

If you have question, I may cannot explain you as well.
For someone, who want to understand what I have done.
