Hey guys,
Today I upgraded PDFSharp & MigraDoc from version 1.32 to 1.50.4845 via nuget on an old project because I read that MigraDoc could not write an image from memory stream in version 1.32. After upgrading I'm now seeing version 1.5 has broken my barcode font that was implemented with XPrivateFontCollection (This font is just included with my application).

I have been struggling on how to implement a private font (From a file) using the new FontResolver http://www.pdfsharp.net/wiki/FontResolver-sample.ashx class. Can anyone give me some pointers on how this is done?

I have also looked at the EZFontResolver class posted here http://developer.th-soft.com/developer/2015/12/11/ezfontresolver-a-generic-font-resolver-for-pdfsharp-and-migradoc/ but I got lost in it.

Why not add a C# project to your solution and use EZFontResolver in that C# project?

Here is C# sample code:

Conversion to VB.NET is left as an exercise to the reader.

Thanks for the reply and the link this is a great help!
Also I didn't want to add the EZFontResolver class to my project because it seemed excessive to have an entire class to handle 1 private font that I could implement before in 4 lines of code. I don't foresee using other non system fonts in this project besides the barcode font.

I was hoping for a replacement 4 liner.

IFontResolver is a new and clean interface. EZFontResolver is the four-liner for that interface (give or take a line or two).

You can still use the GDI+ build and the XPrivateFontCollection.

Classes are cheap. You can rewrite EZFontResolver in VB.NET to avoid having another assembly.
