Using custom TTF font for DrawString image rendering

Question

I am using GDI+ on the server-side to create an image which is streamed to the user\'s browser. None of the standard fonts fit my requirements and so I want to load a TrueType f

Answer 1

I've found a solution to using custom fonts.

// 'PrivateFontCollection' is in the 'System.Drawing.Text' namespace
var foo = new PrivateFontCollection();
// Provide the path to the font on the filesystem
foo.AddFontFile("...");

var myCustomFont = new Font((FontFamily)foo.Families[0], 36f);

Now myCustomFont can be used with the Graphics.DrawString method as intended.
