iTextSharp Font

Question

User-1103262355 posted

Hi ALL,

I am trying to add the fonts in Ielement but it gives error.

for (int k = 0; k < htmlarraylist.Count; k++)
                {
                    BaseFont bf = BaseFont.CreateFont("D:\\Windows\\Fonts\\arabtype.ttf", BaseFont.IDENTITY_H, true);
                    Phrase myPhrase = new Phrase((IElement)htmlarraylist[k], new Font(bf, 20, Font.BOLD));
                    
                    document.Add(myPhrase);

                    //document.Add((IElement)htmlarraylist[k]);
                }

Error:

The best overloaded method match for 'iTextSharp.text.Phrase.Phrase(float, iTextSharp.text.Chunk)' has some invalid arguments

Hi go4voip,

I am not sure regarding it, but could you try with virtual path instead of physical path.

BaseFont bf = BaseFont.CreateFont("localhost://yoursite.com/Font/fontname", BaseFont.IDENTITY_H, true);            

Hope it helps.

The issue is not in Path. But it is when i am calling (IElement)htmlarraylist[k] inside the Phrase.

For the example:

Phrase myPhrase = new Phrase("<div align=right>Date</div>", new Font(bf, 20, Font.BOLD));  'WORKING FINE

Phrase myPhrase = new Phrase((IElement)htmlarraylist[k], new Font(bf, 20, Font.BOLD));  'ERROR

It is arraylist.

ArrayList htmlarraylist = iTextSharp.text.html.simpleparser.HTMLWorker.ParseToList(new StringReader(htmlText), null);

Actually no overload methods is avilable for Phrase which have IElement parsing and Font as second parameter.

Below should work.

 Phrase myPhrase = new Phrase(htmlarraylist[k].ToString(), new Font(bf, 20, Font.BOLD));

I have verified it with iTextsharp DLL version 3.1
