[Mono-list] FontSize on PdfSurface

[David Cantin]

Ok but, if your goal is to produce a pdf file, you could still use
GtkPrint. It also have the advantage of being available on the Windows
port of gtk-sharp where PdfSurface is not (I don't known if this is
still true, but it was a couple months ago).

To produce a PDF with GtkPrint, simply do something like :

	PrintOperation print = new PrintOperation();
	print.BeginPrint += BeginPrint;
	print.DrawPage += DrawPage;
		
	print.ExportFilename = "/path_to_your_file.pdf";
	print.Run(PrintOperationAction.Export, null);

I have tried to directly use a PdfSurface but i change my mind when I
was unable to run my applications on Windows.

Your initial question was about font size problem. I think that using
the Cairo.Context provided by GtkPrint is probably better because the
context object is probably properly initialized (I'm guessing here...)
and I have no font size problem with that.

One more advantage of GtkPrint : You will be able send your drawing
directly to a printer with very little modification if you have to.
