Warning "Could not get charToByteConverterClass!" #55

Closed therightdirk closed 5 years ago

therightdirk commented 5 years ago

Hi, thanks for the very good tool (mcf2pdf-0.3.6). The pdf is generated but I receive the warning "Could not get charToByteConverterClass!" The text in the boxes is partly cutted off and not adjusted correctly as in the mcf-file I see in CEWE. I changed all text from Verdana to Arial. But that does not help. Any ideas? Thanks Dirk

Hi, I have used version 0.3.7 and converted a fotobook containing many text portions. In general, I have used Calibri as font. On many occasions I have observed, that the text is cut off at the end (in the pdf). With manipulation of the pixel coordinates and sizes of the text box (in the mcf file) I was able, to get all the original text into the pdf. For me it looks like, that maybe the lineheight in the pdf is a bit too big. I have also observed that for text boxes containing larger font sizes the letters of the text get cut on the top side. The solution for me: I have manipulated (enlarged) the margin-top settings in the text-box html code (in the mcf file). It will be probably pretty difficult to incorporate rules into mcf2pdf to cope with these "mcf" bugs. Regards, Bernard

With 0.3.7 it works perfectly. Thanks, Dirk

I juast want to add that the appearance of the text in the boxes depends on the choosen Resolution. With r<400> it works.
