Hi:
We have a customer that has provided a custom true type font that they want
us to use when printing documents in the application we are building for
them. This font prints just fine from most Windows applications such as
wordpad, and also from a test app that uses the Win32 print API. However,
when we try to use this same font through the Dot Net print API, the output
is badly scrambled. Are there specific published guidelines available for
designing fonts that are compatible with the Dot Net print API? I'd like to
be able to point them to some specific information when I tell them to go
fix their darned fonts :-)

Thanks!

There are several ways of creating a custom TT font. I think that TT fonts
which contain a bitmap font don't work.

GDI+ is finicky about the fonts it uses.
