VPE.FontSize cannot print if > 10

[vpe88]

Hi guys,

I'm using VS2010 (.Net Framework 4.0) and IDEALSoftware.VpeProfessional.dll.

The code below printed empty if the VPE.FontSize is being set bigger than 10. Any number less or equal to 10 has no issue.

VPE.FontSize = 10;
dLeft = (double)XPos / 100;
dTop = (double)y / 100;
dRight = (double)(XPos + iLen) / 100;
dBottom = (double)(y + iBoxHeigt) / 100;
VPE.Write(dLeft, dTop, dRight, dBottom, sData);

Does anyone has any clue or workaround regarding this matter?
Urgent.. help, pls! Thanks in advance.

You are most likely using a bitmap font. VPE does only support True-Type fonts and OpenType fonts with embedded True-Type fonts.

Or your bottom-coordinate is not big enough, so VPE can not display a single line of text.

I don't see it's the issue of Font-Type, as I mentioned, FontSize with 10 or less works, but not for bigger than 10.

Neither it's the bottom-coordinate issue, please refer to the below url for the actual printed pages:

=> For this printed PDF, VPE.FontSize of the "Item Code:" is in size 9, and "1406490439" in size 10. WORKing perfectly.

=> For this printed PDF, VPE.FontSize of the "Item Code:" is the same as the previous one which is in size 9, and "1406490439" in size 11. NOT printed out the "1406490439".

Forgot to mention, this issue existed in "VPE Professional Edition v6.10", but working perfectly in "VPE Professional Edition v3.60 R4". Both are running under the WindowsXP, VS2010 CSharp (.Net Framework 4.0).

Any clue, guys? Thanks in advance.

Increase the bottom coordinate. The 11pt size text does not fit into the given height of the rectangle and is therefore clipped away. From VPE v4.0 on the font rendering engine had been changed to gain multi-platform support for Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, and Solaris. So it is possible that the height was sufficient in v3.60, but it is not in v4.0 and higher. Or set VPE.EngineRenderMode = VENGINE_RENDER_MODE_VER3 to use the old v3.x compatible font rendering engine. But in this case your documents are not compatible to other platforms.
