Due to requirements for our application regarding stretching text to fit a given area (more complicated than that) i'm using the approach of drawing the text to a path instead, calculating the x,y scaling to fit the target area and then drawing it on the bitmap. This is working well except that i noticed that the letters i marked as bold using the formatting tags do not appear bold/thicker. However if i create the font as bold (or italic) it does affect the path that is drawn. Is it by design that drawing text to a path ignores the formatting tags or is this a bug? I'm hesitant to try to hack this feature together myself using multiple paths and fonts as i dont want to have to deal with the character spacing etc. properties that i'm also relying on. Thanks

Hi Chris, Could you post code a code sample to reproduce the problem? The following code successfully applies formatting to the specific part of text: Code:using (var bitmap = new Bitmap(400, 250, PixelFormat.Format24bppRgb, RgbColor.White))
using (var graphics = bitmap.GetAdvancedGraphics())
{
var pathText = new PathText("Some <span style='bold:true;'>Bold</span> text",
graphics.CreateFont("Arial", 42));
pathText.Path.MoveTo(26, 152);
pathText.Path.CurveTo(121, 177, 183, 68, 368, 157);
//Draw text on path
var path = new Path();
path.DrawText(pathText);
//Draw path
graphics.FillPath(new SolidBrush(RgbColor.Black), path);
bitmap.Save("../../../result.png");
}
