Re: [smufl-discuss] Using Bravura in .NET applications

I don't know about GDI+ and System.Drawing.Font, but I've had some success using the .otf font via Direct2D/DirectWrite, as exposed by the SharpDX .NET bindings. It's a bit more work to get going with the DirectX APIs, but it works nicely.

Hello,

I wanted to write a Microsoft .NET application (for personal use, at
least for now), which involves displaying music notation. A quick Google
for something suitable found SMuFL & Bravura, which seemed ideal for the
purpose.

However, it seems as if Bravura is not compatible with the .NET
System.Drawing.Font class (whose documentation says "Windows Forms
applications support TrueType fonts and have limited support for
OpenType fonts").

Does anyone know a workround for this problem? Is there, for example, a
TrueType version of Bravura?
