EDward, Can you make it work for unicode encoding also? Especially Indian languages?

Hi, Rathi.

I made a PDF natively encoded in UTF-8 (without generating Unicode text as a png file).

Is the example shown at the top of the PDF page in the Indian alphabet?

Would this solution meet your expectations?
In the utf-8 editor, characters from this font look different than in the resulting PDF. I pasted the characters with the Windows Character Map. :roll:
The other fonts appear in the editor in the same way as in PDF.

What I noticed, the built-in PDF fonts (Courier, Helvetica, Times-Roman) can not be used for Unicode encoding. Use TTF fonts.


Circular text printing requires changes for Unicode encoding support.

Hi friends

Does anyone know who is author of Harbur (not HMG) HaruPDF wrapper ?

I remember he was PritPal Bedi, but sadly I can't found in Harbour docs :(

Or more useful, if possible any doc (at least ReadMe) about Harbur HPDF

TIA

Tested and nearly 100% success, big thanks for your hard work for natively encoded pdf in UTF-8
Some of the characters do not shows properly is a second thing and not mistake of yours

But, I can't find if there is a font filename for font name.
HMG sources contains call to older version of the function EnumFontFamilies (this one is for compatibility wit 16-bit versions).
c_controlmisc.c file contains definition of EnumFonts.
EnumFontFamilies returns LogFont structure:

Code: Select all

typedef struct tagLOGFONT {
  LONG  lfHeight;
  LONG  lfWidth;
  LONG  lfEscapement;
  LONG  lfOrientation;
  LONG  lfWeight;
  BYTE  lfItalic;
  BYTE  lfUnderline;
  BYTE  lfStrikeOut;
  BYTE  lfCharSet;
  BYTE  lfOutPrecision;
  BYTE  lfClipPrecision;
  BYTE  lfQuality;
  BYTE  lfPitchAndFamily;
  TCHAR lfFaceName[LF_FACESIZE];
} LOGFONT, *PLOGFONT;
It is desciped on https://msdn.microsoft.com/pl-pl/librar ... s.85).aspx page

Some fonts have only English names, some of them can have English and native (Polish, Chinese ) names too.

I think Claudio Soto should know sth. about it. (His name is places as comment in sources :) )
Hi Marek.
Recently, I had a similar need for the user to choose their own fonts to create a PDF file.
As you know, the HaruPDF library uses native Helvetica, Courier and Times-Roman fonts. You can also use fonts from .ttf files but you can not use the fonts enumerated in the system.
My solution is to examine the available font .ttf files in the system folder, the current folder and the user specified for HaruPDF support and create an array with a .ttf file list.
Based on the received array with a .ttf file list, I created a dialog to select the font.
At the end I made a function where after entering the fontface name, attributes: bold and/or italics, the appropriate .ttf file is found.

This is not a perfect solution and therefore I do not integrate it with h_HMG_HPDF.Prg, but maybe it will be a bit helpful.

I used undocumented GDI32 function GetFontResourceInfo to retrieve the font names from a .ttf file.
It does not work correctly with every .ttf file. My knowledge of C (and English) is so-so, that's why I could do something incorrectly 😒.
Maybe someone knows better solution how to retrieve a Fontname from TTF. :idea:

Minor bug fix in the dialog: error occurred when user enter the name of the font not included in the font list. :oops:
