I have an C# application sending printing code directly to Epson TM-T88
Thermal printer instead of using Windows Driver.
Everything is fine at printing English.
But I got a headache at printing some French letters like "?,?,?".

I would like to make a preview of text with Type1 fonts
and not TrueType. But i know that GDI+ only use TrueType
installed fonts.
Do you know how can i do this ?

In terms of memory used, would it be more efficient to store just a Color

All examples + real world code uses the "store Color and create Brush/Pen

Hi, the follow code is blowing up with invalid parameter, although to me it

My company is about to release a product which provides a WYSIWYG editing
experience for GDI+ object layout for multipage print documents and other
design surfaces.  It works like popular vector drawing tools, but produces
VB, C#, and J$ code using the codedom.  You could think of ...

   I have been making a huge effort (For myself anyway) to try to read PCX
images in VB.NET and convert it into a bitmap object.  I have managed to get
the header, the palette (If available) and the data (decoded too).  Now I
have the decoded data, surely drawing the image on a ...

I'm haivng a little difficulty saving an image encapsulated by an
Image object to a stream - when Image.Save() is called an exception is
thrown with the message "Generic Error in GDI+". This code is executed
as part of a Windows Forms application running from a local codebase

Can anyone point out to me what's wrong with this piece of code.  I'm trying
to load a png file into a picture box and correctly display the alpha
channel.  The call to UpdateLayeredWindow seems to fail (it always returns
0) and I can't figure out why.

I am curious to know if there is any way to retrive the display
