Hi

I am having some trouble with the AddMemoryFont method. I am trying to
embed an OpenType font but it keeps giving me the following:

System.InvalidOperationException: Error loading font --->
System.IO.FileNotFoundException: File not found.
at System.Drawing.Text.PrivateFontCollection.AddMemor yFont(IntPtr
memory, Int32 length)

My code looks like this:

// buffer
byte[] fontData = new byte[fontStream.Length];

// read
fontStream.Read(fontData, 0, (int)fontStream.Length);

IntPtr data = Marshal.AllocHGlobal(Marshal.SizeOf(typeof(byte)) *
fontData.Length);

// copy to unsafe memory block
Marshal.Copy(fontData, 0, data, fontData.Length);

// add to font collection
_pfc.AddMemoryFont(data, fontData.Length);

Int32 pcFonts = 1;

AddFontMemResourceEx(data, fontData.Length, 0, pcFonts);

// clean up
fontStream.Close();
Marshal.FreeHGlobal(data);


It works when I use a TrueType font but is there anyway to get an
OpenType font to store in memory. If not, is there a good way to
convert my .otf to .ttf.

Thanks

James

Also, I forgot to mention I have to use .net 1.1

See my article in Windows Forms Tips and Tricks about embedding a font.
