Hi

What is the solution to use replacement characters for fonts that don't have all the symbols defined (Eg some fonts don't have *&%^$ symbols defined and the PDF is generated with some replacepent chars (some sqares for all the missing fonts))
In GDI+ I noticed that the missing symbols are replaced with the corresponding symbols from a standard family, but PDFSharp generated documents are not rendered this way.

Hope there is a solution to this (other than using only fully defined fonts :) ).

Thanks,
Tudor

Possible solution found

Instead of using
gfx.DrawString(TextX, font, gdiBrush, elementLeft, elementTop);

use
XGraphicsPath path = new XGraphicsPath();
path.AddString(TextX, FontFamily, fontstyle, Size, new XPoint(elementLeft, elementTop), new XStringFormat());
gfx.DrawPath(gdiBrush, path);

Code might not be correctly syntactic but I think you got the idea.

Let me know if there are alternatives.
