I am trying to convert text into graphics using c#.
My input is character string and output is bitmap with the input text.
After lot of search I found some ways to do it, I found some techiques which uses this kind of techinque. For Example While creating Captcha, we have to print the character in the bitmap.
But for that I should have the font installed in my windows.
I can not perform such operation without installing the font.
I have .ttf file with me but I dont want to install it because my work for that font is temporary only.
Is there any way where I can extract out the Font s graphical information by providing the Character?
I have also found font parser code http://swinglabs.java.sun.com/hudson/job/PDFRenderer%20Weekly%20Build/javadoc/com/sun/pdfview/font/package-summary.html
Can anyone please provide me how to develpo similar thing using c#.Net?
Or
From where can I get the algorithm to parce font?
