Constructors

PdfFontSettings(Single, PdfFontStyle, Boolean, Boolean, Boolean)

Initializes a new instance of the PdfFontSettings class with the specified font style, font size, embed and subset options.

Declaration

public PdfFontSettings(float fontSize, PdfFontStyle style, bool embed, bool subset, bool useFloatingFactorForMeasure)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.Single	fontSize	The font size, in points, to use when rendering text with this font.
PdfFontStyle	style	The style of the font
System.Boolean	embed	A boolean value that specifies whether to embed the font with the PDF document.
System.Boolean	subset	A boolean value that specifies whether to subset the font to only include the characters used in the document.
System.Boolean	useFloatingFactorForMeasure	"A boolean value that specifies whether to use a floating-point value type to measure width and render."

Remarks

If the embed parameter is true, the font stream data will be embedded in the PDF document. This ensures that the font will be available for viewing and printing, even if the original font is not installed on the user's computer. If the subset parameter is true, only the characters used in the document will be included in the embedded font. This can reduce the size of the PDF document, but may also make it more difficult to edit the document in the future.
