Using local font file (.ttf) in asp.net GDI+ app.

[deehen0]

Hi,

I am trying to use a special font in an GDI+ application. The font
file is located in my root folder.
The following code does not work but might explain what I am trying to
do...

Font f = new Font(Server.MapPath("somefont.ttf"), 200);

Thank you for your time.

Regards,

Hensson

P.S.

If you would need to load a font from the file, try following:

PrivateFontCollection p = new PrivateFontCollection();
p.AddFontFile(Server.MapPath("somefont.ttf"));
FontFamily ff= privateFontCollection.Families[0];
Font f = new Font(ff, 200);

Have a look at the PrivateFontCollection class.

Any chance you can access this font if it resides in your resources?
