How should I set font size?

[Andrea_Conti]

I am using Adobe Open Type Font (OTF) files.  The page is set to be Letter size.
 I am using the HTMLWorker and have styles set up using LoadTagStyle.  I have
tried to set the font size using "font-size" and "size".  Assuming the size in
points I want is 10, I have tried "10", "10px", and "10pt".  The fonts don't
look the way I expect them to be sized.  I even tried the "px" with the point
size modified as per the message at the URL below.

The leading also doesn't seem to work properly.  Is that in points?


Thanks in advance for any insight into this.

Andrea Conti

Works for me. That's all I can say considering that you posted no standalone code to reproduce the problem.

*note: I am using Gmane to keep this threaded and it won't allow top-posting*

I have created a sample project solution using Visual Studio 2005.  

http://www.box.net/shared/jud57jinv1

If you download this and open the Solution file you will see that there is a
WindowsApplication1 project.  There is also ItextSharp and fonts.  So the whole
thing is self contained.  You should be able to run the project by pressing F5.

I put in crazy font sizes for the text and use "p", "body", "h5", and "h6" to
try various sizes for the main text.  You will see that the text does not look
like the sizes that are set.  Also, I put breakpoints in each place that I found
"font-size" referenced.  The code is not hit!

Below are the places and questions I have about that.
======================================
text\html\markup.cs

/** the CSS tag for the font size */
public const string CSS_KEY_FONTSIZE = "font-size";


public static float ParseLength(string str)
This parses the font-size and will handle these suffixes:
// inches
if (str.StartsWith("in")) {
    return f * 72f;
}
// centimeters
if (str.StartsWith("cm")) {
    return (f / 2.54f) * 72f;
}
// millimeters
if (str.StartsWith("mm")) {
    return (f / 25.4f) * 72f;
}
// picas
if (str.StartsWith("pc")) {
    return f * 12f;
}
// default: we assume the length was measured in points
return f;



text\html\simpleparser\FactoryProperties.cs

else if (key.Equals(Markup.CSS_KEY_FONTSIZE)) {
h["size"] =
Markup.ParseLength(prop[key]).ToString(NumberFormatInfo.InvariantInfo) + "px";}

QUESTION: Why is "px" being added here automatically?


text\html\htmlwriter.cs

if (font.Size != Font.UNDEFINED) {
 WriteCssProperty(Markup.CSS_KEY_FONTSIZE, font.Size.ToString() + "pt");
 

QUESTION: Why add "pt" here?

======================================


Thanks in advance for looking at this.
