This method adds a TTF font from a file and returns the font name.

Syntax

BSTR AddTTFFontFromFile (
BSTR fontFile,
TxFontCharset charset
)
Parameters
fontFile
Path to font file

charset
Character set of the loaded font

Return value
This method returns the font name. If the font can't be added (when you try to add a commercial font, for example), it returns an empty string.

Remarks

This method can load TTF, OTF, and Type1 fonts.

If you don't know the font's type, use AddTTFFontFromFile2 instead. This method will determine the font's type and try to load it.

The return value is the name of the font added and can be used in PDFPAGE_SetActiveFont.
