Problem with PDF export in k8s, windows 2019

[e.andrukh]

I made adding fonts like this and correct font is used, but as you said in one style only. Waiting for fix.

Code: Select all

			foreach (var file in System.IO.Directory.GetFiles("C:\\Windows\\Fonts"))
			{
				Stimulsoft.Base.StiFontCollection.AddFontFile(file);
			}

Hello, I updated to v2022.2.1
But it still has wrong fonts.
Pdf is attached.

Before update problem was with wrong style of font: italic was used instead of general one.

Now it's different.

By the way attached three fonts cannot be added to StiFontCollection

Code: Select all

StiFontCollection.AddFontFile(fileName)

System.ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null.
Parameter name: key
at System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary`2.FindEntry(TKey key)
at Stimulsoft.Base.StiFontCollection.AddContentToCache(Byte[] content, String extension, String alias, Nullable`1 fontStyle, Boolean isResource)
at Stimulsoft.Base.StiFontCollection.AddFontFile(String fileName, String alias, Nullable`1 fontStyle)

The issue is fixed. The fix will be available in the next release build.

Not really. The fonts now exported to PDF are correct, and the styles are correct.
But there is a problem with the character width.
Analysis of the pdf file shows that this is another GDI bug - the character width of the wrong font is returned.
Try setting the following static option:
StiOptions.Export.Pdf.AllowInvokeWindowsLibraries = false;
and let us know about the result.

Thank you.

It solves the problem, thanks.

I copied all Windows fonts to C:\Windows\Fonts.
This code is used before reports rendering and exporting:

Code: Select all

			StiOptions.Export.Pdf.AllowInvokeWindowsLibraries = false;

			foreach (var fileName in Directory.GetFiles(@"C:\Windows\Fonts"))
			{
				try
				{
					StiFontCollection.AddFontFile(fileName);
				}
				catch (Exception ex)	{ }
			}

Maybe it can be helpful, how fonts are copied and registered in docker image:

Code: Select all

FROM mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/framework/aspnet:4.8-windowsservercore-ltsc2019

COPY ./Fonts ./Fonts
COPY ./InstallFonts.ps1 ./Fonts
RUN ["powershell.exe", "./Fonts/InstallFonts.ps1"]
