Hi Alex,
Is truly rich, is a web to print solution Enterprise application that i join on
the last 5 months.
Why i wish a solution like this:To make what the user see on the web and get
it on the PDF.The PDF creator uses SVG embebed fonts and when the user set
underline we have different results.
I could draw the lines with the example of justin from the post:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------From
inside createTextLinesFromTextBlock method in FTETextField.
// FTE doesn't render underlines, // but it can tell us
where to draw them. // You can't draw in a TextLine but it
can have children, // so we create a child Shape to draw
them in. var fontMetrics:FontMetrics;
if (fontContext) fontMetrics =
fontContext.callInContext(elementFormat.getFontMetrics, elementFormat, []);
else fontMetrics =
elementFormat.getFontMetrics(); var
shape:Shape = new Shape(); var g:Graphics = shape.graphics;
g.lineStyle(fontMetrics.underlineThickness,
elementFormat.color, elementFormat.alpha); g.moveTo(0,
fontMetrics.underlineOffset); g.lineTo(textLine.textWidth,
fontMetrics.underlineOffset);
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
but i don't know on the RTE where i can override the TextBlock that creates the
textlines/underline.
In on component RTE all the text is underline i dont have parcial text
underline.
I have my extended RTE with just textValidation (if font have glyph) and font
face validation.
What looks easy to underline gap and thickness is not so easy i tough that i
could add this to TLF configuration but not.What i read is that FontMetrics
have the metrics of the embebed fonts as i said i tried to fake this class but
also with no success..(maybe the wrong solution/perspective).
