I am trying to load a custom font (ttf file) and draw into an image with the Graphics object. This code runs fine locally:
PrivateFontCollection fonts = new PrivateFontCollection();
string path = context.Server.MapPath("~/App_Data/Futura LT Bold.ttf");
if (!System.IO.File.Exists(path))
{
throw new InvalidOperationException("Font file is not deployed: " + path);
}
fonts.AddFontFile(path);
However when run on appharbor, the call to AddFontFile fails with the exception:
System.ArgumentException: Font 'Futura LT Book' does not support style 'Regular'.
at System.Drawing.Font.CreateNativeFont()
at System.Drawing.Font.Initialize(FontFamily family, Single emSize, FontStyle style, GraphicsUnit unit, Byte gdiCharSet, Boolean gdiVerticalFont)

at System.Web.Mvc.ActionMethodDispatcher.Execute(ControllerBase controller, Object[] parameters)
at System.Web.Mvc.ReflectedActionDescriptor.Execute(ControllerContext controllerContext, IDictionary`2 parameters)
I have tried different fonts, and they all work locally, but none work on appharbor.
Is it possible to load fonts dynamically on appharbor?
