The differences between them also apply to their respective Font classes... Can someone tell me why they are so fundamentally different and in what scenario you would use each one and why? Thanks

Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Drawing.Graphics/GetGraphics - an old API for backward compatibility. The standard .NET System.Drawing.Graphics/GetGdiPlusGraphics API is available as well. We recommend using the AdvancedDrawing API (GetAdvancedGraphics) as it has numerous benefits: High quality CMYK/Grayscale/16-bit per channel support Vector output to PDF/EPS You can find a full comparison of drawing engines here: https://www.graphicsmill...tem-drawing-graphics.htm The current version of Graphics Mill provides an API of rendering text on curve: https://www.graphicsmill.com/doc...g-text.htm#DistortedText You can use either PathText or RoundText to render a text on curve.
