Example

Here we use Language and TextFont to mix standard text and symbol fonts.

[C#]Canvas canvas = new Canvas(300, 200, new XColor(Color.Yellow));
DrawOptions drawOpts = new DrawOptions(canvas);
drawOpts.TextFont = "Times";
drawOpts.TextSize = 24;
canvas.DrawText("Some Text...", new XPoint(0, 0), drawOpts);
drawOpts.Language = "Unicode";
drawOpts.TextFont = "Wingdings";
canvas.DrawText("Symbols.", new XPoint(0, 60), drawOpts);
drawOpts.TextFont = "Times";
canvas.DrawText("Some more text...", new XPoint(0, 120), drawOpts);
canvas.SaveAs(Server.MapPath("DrawOptions_Language_96.gif"));


[Visual Basic]Dim canvas As New Canvas(300, 200, New XColor(Color.Yellow))
Dim drawOpts As New DrawOptions(canvas)
drawOpts.TextFont = "Times"
drawOpts.TextSize = 24
canvas.DrawText("Some Text...", New XPoint(0, 0), drawOpts)
drawOpts.Language = "Unicode"
drawOpts.TextFont = "Wingdings"
canvas.DrawText("Symbols.", New XPoint(0, 60), drawOpts)
drawOpts.TextFont = "Times"
canvas.DrawText("Some more text...", New XPoint(0, 120), drawOpts)
canvas.SaveAs(Server.MapPath("DrawOptions_Language_96.gif"))


It produces the following output image:
