Testing the new NativePDF! , seems like dynamic loaded fonts is not included in the generated PDF file,

if i install the font it works fine.

Is this a limit of the export pdf function or is there a workaround ?

Using the "AddFontResourceA" winapi to load fonts.

PDF customsize must be set

Thanks for your input

Changed the WinApi to the unicode version , same result

Added NativePDF_IncludeCustomFont=1 to [DataWindow] section and also the existing [Data Window] section in the pb.ini

still not working

Same in deployed test app with a local pb.ini in exe folder, added both [DataWindow] and [Data Window] section in the local pb.ini

no go

There is option to have the fonts included in the generated PDF.  By default, they are not included to minimize the size of the PDF and improve the PDF generation speed.  Please refer to page 559 of the PB 2017 Application Techniques doc.  Basically, in the PB.INI you need to set NativePDF_IncludeCustomFont=1.

I'm sure this isn't the cause but you should use the W version of that function. You won't need the ;Ansi in the alias clause.
