TeeSaveToPDFFile draws random gap between text characters

[Collinor]

TeeChart's TeeSaveToPDFFile function does not work reliable, since a random gap is drawn between characters of text. Only if this gap is 0, output is OK.

Inspecting the source code, I found the following lines in TeePDFCanvas.TPDFCanvas.RotateLabel(x,y:Integer; Const St:String; RotDegree:Double):

Code: Select all

    if Assigned(IFont) then
       WriteStringToStream(FCStream,FontProperties(IFont,FontIndex)+' ')
    else
       WriteStringToStream(FCStream,FontProperties(TTeeFont(Font),FontIndex)+' ');

The last line is critical, since it misses a dynamic type check whether Font is actually a TTeeFont. If Font is not a TTeeFont, the Font's InterCharSize property returns a random value in function FontProperties which causes the random gap to be drawn.
I would suggest to add the dynamic type check and overload function FontProperties accordingly.

Hi Collinor,

I've added it to the wish list to be revised asap (TV52015997).
Thanks for reporting it.
