Adelia Cloud


For previews in PDF format, this function makes it possible to set a TrueType font other than Courier (only font offered in the execution parameters).

The files (.ttf) need to have been copied beforehand:

- either the VFS c:\fonts directory,

- or into the VFS directory pointed at by the PdfFontsPath key if this is configured in the wicfgva.ini configuration file.


The font name is the real name of the .ttx file. If the font is not found, the default font [7.Courier] is used.

If in the rendering of the PDF document the line height (0.85 by default) is too small or too large, it can be adjusted by changing the LineHeightFactor attribute (see the VaToolBxCloudSetSupersededAdeliaPrinterPdfAttributes function).

Example 2:

If the DroidSans.ttf file is present in the c:\fonts directory of the VFS,it is possible to call the function as follows:


BOOL resB

CALL_DLL 'VaToolBx' 'VaToolBxSetAdeliaPrinterEx' 1 *FALSE '8.DroidSans' 1 -1 -1 1 1 resB


The font used for PDF generation is the font DroidSans, size 8.
