Problem displaying text using PdfTrueTypeFont in PdfLightTable

Hi,

I'm using a PdfLightTable to display text in a table.
I used PdfStandardFont but I had to change to PdfTrueTypeFont to support unicode characters.

When I used PdfStandardFont, the text fitted nicely in the table cells, but now with PdfTrueTypeFont it goes beyond the bottom of the cells when several lines are displayed, and the last lines of a cell are displayed over the next cell.

Do I have to set each cell's MinimalHeight depending on the text it contains, or is there something else I'm missing ?

Thank you.

Hi Chinnu,

Sorry I should have specified that I'm working on a Xamarin.iOS project, and I'm loading fonts from .ttf files.

I made changes to the Form1.cs in the sample project, please tell me if it helps you reproduce the problem. I couldn't test this sample project as I only have Xamarin Studio.

Also, I noticed the problem only happens on device (iPad Air 2, iOS 9) and not in the iOS Simulator (also iPad, iOS 9).

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

I changed your code to reproduce the problem, this time it happens also on the simulator...
Maybe it has something to do with the font used ? I noticed the problem by using Helvetica and Courier.

Thanks for your help.
