How to make eto FontFamily to use embeded fonts?

[WileyNg]

Hi @cwensley,

Yet another question about eto. I use the following to embed fonts in my rhino Plugin.

            string[] fileInfos = Assembly.GetManifestResourceNames().Where(x=> x.Split('.').Last()=="ttf").ToArray();

            foreach (string fileinfo in fileInfos)
            { 
            Stream fontStream = this.GetType().Assembly.GetManifestResourceStream(fileinfo);
            byte[] fontdata = new byte[fontStream.Length];
            fontStream.Read(fontdata, 0, fontdata.Length);
            fontStream.Close();
            unsafe
            {
                fixed (byte* pFontData = fontdata)
                    {
                        FontCollection.AddMemoryFont((System.IntPtr)pFontData, fontdata.Length);
                    }
            }

However, I don't see eto has any way to use System.Drawing.FontFamily class?
there is no relevant constructor in the Eto.Drawing.FontFamily to take that in.

any ideas?

Hey @WileyNg, try FontFamily.FromStreams(). For a single typeface you can use the FontTypeface constructors.

[WileyNg]

but how would a Label in eto be able to use those fonts? Label only takes in eto fonts?
really appreciate your help!

var fontFamily = Eto.Drawing.FontFamily.FromStreams(myStreams);
var label = new Eto.Forms.Label
{
  Text = "Hello",
  Font = new Eto.Drawing.Font(fontFamily, 12)
};

// or:
var fontTypeface = new Eto.Drawing.FontTypeface(singleFontStreamOrFileName);
var label2 = new Eto.Forms.Label
{
  Text = "Hello again",
  Font = new Font(fontTypeface, 12)
};

@cwensley thanks so much for helping.
But I just couldn't find FromStreams method under FontFamily in the Eto assembly reference.
The FontTypeface also has only one constructor available.

Hi @cwensley
I updated the eto version and found the FromStream Method! Thanks!

Hey @WileyNg, awesome. Yes, they are relatively newer APIs from PR #2174, only in 2.7.0 or later.
