handle true type fonts in vectorize
hi,
i'm using (and very happy with) dwgdirect 1.06 to convert dwg files do pdf. what i did was derive a class from odgsbasedevice () and implement some functions, as show in the examples. handling autocad fonts was also easy (after some help), but i can't find information on how handle true type fonts. i noticed that all true type fonts are replaced by a stantard autocad font (txt), could someone please give me some clue on how add support for true type fonts?
thanks,

dd is unable to find ttf file. oddbhostappservices::findfile() is responsible for finding file location on disk. its default implementation searchs the file in "_windows_\fonts" there _windows_ is a string returned by getwindowsdirectory() function.
have you overriden findfile() function?
does odamfcapp display ttf text on your computer correctly?

the fonts are shown correctly in odamdiapp and even when i print a file with my app (i didn't noticed that before - should have tested it); i think that's related with my custom rendering device (derived from odgsbasedevice), witch function should i implement to handle true type fonts?
anyway, i'll take a look at the rendering classes that come with dd and try to figure it out,
thanks for your help,
