DrawingFontText

Draws text without text objects, only with getting char info + simple metrics.

Code Snippet

using (var bitmap = new Bitmap(200, 200, PixelFormat.Format24bppRgb, RgbColor.White))
using (var gr = bitmap.GetGraphics())
using (var fr = new CustomFontRegistry())
{
    var psName = fr.Add("Lobster.ttf")[0].PostscriptName;

    gr.FontRegistry = fr;

    var font = gr.CreateFont(psName, 40);

    string[] lines = new string[] { "SOME", "TEXT", "TO ADD" };

    float x = 10f;
    float y = 50f;

    float offsetY = 0f;

    foreach (string line in lines)
    {
        float offsetX = 0f;

        for (int i = 0; i < line.Length; i++)
        {
            using (var charInfo = font.GetCharacterInfo(line[i]))
            {
                charInfo.Outline.Translate(x + offsetX, y + offsetY);

                gr.FillPath(new SolidBrush(RgbColor.Black), charInfo.Outline);

                offsetX += charInfo.AdvanceX;
            }
        }

        offsetY += font.Metrics.Height;
    }

    bitmap.Save("FontAPI.png");
