Hi All
I am using a pdf generating library. It requires me to provide a font whenever I am printing a string in the pdf document. The problem is that the string that will be printed is the user input from a textbox and I may have to select different font for different language input.
I have found some information about font linking here

but I am not sure if there is a C# way of doing this. Does anyone know how?
thanks
If you provide a means for the user to type in, why not provide a means of selecting a particular font - iow, FontDialog ¿
Thanks for your replyQuote:

Because of those reasons, that would not solve my problem
What you want is the MaskedTextBox.
Some links to get you started:

The arabic link, although written for making a TextBox work in Arabic, has specific instructions on how to use the MaskedTextBox control for a specific language/culture setting.
