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

[RITSCHEL Patrick]

Hello Tristan,

I just tried it out: first I installed the new Bravura font under Windows.
Then, after selecting the font I could easily write out unicodes like
        string text = "\ue0a2";
 for a whole's note head on a DrawingContext instance (approximately; my program has the these lines distributed in some methods):
        Typeface typeface = new Typeface("Bravura");
        FormattedText formattedText = new FormattedText(text, CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo("en-us"), FlowDirection.LeftToRight, typeface, size, Brushes.Black);
        Point p = createPoint(x, y); // my position mapping function
        drawingContext.DrawText(formattedText, p);

Cheers,
Patrick.

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.
