Load, Extract Data and Save from TTF | C++

Load TrueType Font from Disc

TrueType fonts can be stored to disc in files. Aspose.Font for C++ API can load such files and read font information from these. The following steps can be used to read TrueType font file in C++ applications.

Create a new object of FontDefinition class
Use FontType as TTF and FontFileDefinition as ttf
Declare a TtfFont object and open the font file from FontDefinition object defined in the earlier step

1For complete examples and data files, please go to https://github.com/aspose-font/Aspose.Font-for-C
2System::String fileName = dataDir + u"Montserrat-Regular.ttf";
3//Font file name with full path
4    
5System::SharedPtr<FontDefinition> fd = System::MakeObject<FontDefinition>(Aspose::Font::FontType::TTF, System::MakeObject<FontFileDefinition>(u"ttf", System::MakeObject<FileSystemStreamSource>(fileName)));
6System::SharedPtr<TtfFont> ttfFont = System::DynamicCast_noexcept<Aspose::Font::Ttf::TtfFont>(Aspose::Font::Font::Open(fd));

Save TTF Font

Aspose.Font for C++ provides the capability to edit font files and save back the changes to disc. The following C++ code sample shows how to save an updated TTF font file to disc.

Define a new object of FontDefinition class
Specify FontType as TTF and FontFileDefinition as ttf
Create a TtfFont object and open the font file from FontDefinition object defined in the earlier step
Make the required updates and save the updated Font file to disc using the TtfFont’s Save method

  2//byte array to load Font from
  3System::String dataDir = RunExamples::GetDataDir_Data();
  4    
  5System::ArrayPtr<uint8_t> fontMemoryData = System::IO::File::ReadAllBytes(dataDir + u"Montserrat-Regular.ttf");
  6System::SharedPtr<FontDefinition> fd = System::MakeObject<FontDefinition>(Aspose::Font::FontType::TTF, System::MakeObject<FontFileDefinition>(u"ttf", System::MakeObject<ByteContentStreamSource>(fontMemoryData)));
  7System::SharedPtr<TtfFont> ttfFont = System::DynamicCast_noexcept<Aspose::Font::Ttf::TtfFont>(Aspose::Font::Font::Open(fd));
  8    
  9//Work with data from just loaded TtfFont object
 10    
 11//Save CffFont to disk
 12//Output Font file name with full path
 13System::String outputFile = RunExamples::GetDataDir_Data() + u"Montserrat-Regular_out.ttf";
 14    
 15ttfFont->Save(outputFile);
