Load Type1 Font from Disc

Aspose.Font for .NET API lets you read Type1 Font types from files stored in your digital storage. Type1 font files stored on disc can be loaded by using the following steps.

1. Construct the full file path for the Type1 font (e.g., string fileName = Path.Combine(dataDir, "courier.pfb");). This ensures correct path handling across platforms.
2. Create a FontFileDefinition describing the .pfb format and a FileSystemStreamSource for the file, then build a FontDefinition with FontType.Type1
3. Open the font using Aspose.Font.Font.Open(fd) and cast the result to Type1Font

// For complete examples and data files, please go to https://github.com/aspose-font/Aspose.Font-for-.NET
string fileName = dataDir + "courier.pfb"; //Font file name with full path

FontDefinition fd = new FontDefinition(FontType.Type1, new FontFileDefinition("pfb", new FileSystemStreamSource(fileName)));
Type1Font font = Aspose.Font.Font.Open(fd) as Type1Font;
