I have a TTF font I am using with Cairo that doesn’t have bold or italics in it. I can use the font by creating new fontface using FreeType and cairo_ft_font_face_create_for_ft_face. I’ve set the font data and made the fontface my font in Cairo. If generate output using Cairo anything that doesn’t require bold or italics it works just fine.</div> <div> </div> <div>However, I’ve tried doing some tests where call cairo_ft_font_face_set_synthesize with CAIRO_FT_SYNTHESIZE_OBLIQUE and/or CAIRO_FT_SYNTHESIZE_BOLD. There appears to be no change in the font, so I’ve come to the conclusion that I’m not doing something correctly.</div> <div> </div> <div>I’m doing this on Windows, so that may be an issue all by itself. Anyway, here some basic code I’m using pulled from my code.</div> <div> </div> <div>void cairoDestroyFontFace(void *data);</div> <div>void cairoDestroyFontFace(void *data)</div> <div>{</div> <div> FT_Done_Face(static_cast<FT_Face>(data));</div> <div>}</div> <div> </div> <div>.</div> <div>.</div> <div>.</div> <div> </div> <div>static FT_Library freetypeLibrary = nullptr; // FreeType library instance</div> <div>cairo_font_face_t* fontFace = nullptr;</div> <div>FT_Face ftFontFace = FT_Face();</div> <div> </div> <div>FT_Init_FreeType(&freetypeLibrary);</div> <div>FT_New_Face(freetypeLibrary, "mytruetypefile.ttf", 0, &ftFontFace);</div> <div> </div> <div>if (ftFontFace != nullptr)</div> <div>{</div> <div> fontFace = cairo_ft_font_face_create_for_ft_face(ftFontFace, 0);</div> <div>}</div> <div> </div> <div>// set the font in cairo</div> <div>if (fontFace != nullptr && cairo_status(cairoContext) == CAIRO_STATUS_SUCCESS)</div> <div>{</div> <div> cairo_font_face_set_user_data(fontFace, &staticKeyForCairoUserData, ftFontFace, cairoDestroyFontFace);</div> <div> cairo_set_font_face(cairoContext, fontFace);</div> <div> cairo_ft_font_face_set_synthesize(fontFace, CAIRO_FT_SYNTHESIZE_OBLIQUE);</div> <div>}</div> <div> </div> <div>// set the font size in cairo</div> <div>cairo_set_font_size(cairoContext, 24);</div> <div> </div> <div>// draw some text</div> <div>cairo_move_to(cairoContext, 20, 20); </div> <div>cairo_show_text(cairoContext, "Simulated italic font...");</div> <div> </div> <div>FT_Done_FreeType(freetypeLibrary);</div> <div> </div> <div>What I want is this:</div> <div> </div> <div><img src="cid:3B3E46705FD6D94C917086C645BB9235@xerox.com"> </div> <div> </div> <div>What I get is this:</div> <div> </div> <div><img src="cid:6232A654BD69FF459E30A0CAC4E24EB5@xerox.com"> </div> <div> </div> <div> </div> <div align="center" style="text-align:center;"><font color="#943634"><img width="83" height="41" src="rtfimage://"></font></div> <div> </div> <div><font face="Xerox Sans" size="2"><span style="font-size:10pt;"><b>Glenn K.
