I am trying to programatically create a bitmap with a specified font in ASP.Net. The idea is that the text, font name, size color etc. will be passed in from variables and a bitmap of the text using the font etc will be returned.
However, I have been finding that I am only able to do so using the following code with certain fonts.
<div>
<%
string fontName = "Segoe
Script"; //Change Font here
System.Drawing.Bitmap bmp = new System.Drawing.Bitmap(100, 100);
System.Drawing.Graphics graph = System.Drawing.Graphics.FromImage(bmp);
System.Drawing.Font fnt = new System.Drawing.Font(fontName, 20);
System.Drawing.SolidBrush brush = new System.Drawing.SolidBrush(System.Drawing.Color.Red);
graph.DrawString("Help", fnt, brush, new System.Drawing.Point(10, 10));
bmp.Save(@"C:\Development\Path\image1.bmp");
this.Image1.ImageUrl = "http://mysite/Images/image1.bmp";
%>
<asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text="Label" Font-Names="Segoe
Script"> <%Response.Write("Help"); %></asp:Label> //Change font here
<asp:Image ID="Image1" runat="server" />
</div>
If I
change the font name in the areas indicated by the comments to Arial or Verdana both the image and the label appear with the correct font.
If however, I
change the font name in both locations to something "Segoe
Script" the Label will show up in Segoe
Script but the image is in what looks like Arial.
