Xojo 2022r1 brings a bunch of font handling improvements plus new features to the creation of PDF documents.
Comments closedBack in 2020 when PDFDocument was first introduced in Xojo, we had to make a compromise in order to render the output created via Xojo’s integrated Report Editor. That was far from ideal, but we needed to first meet some other requirements in order to get the full vectorial quality you expect in both PDFs as well as in rendering reports.
With Xojo 2022r1 I am happy to say we have achieved that goal! The best part is that you don’t need to do anything to take advantage of the update. Keep your code as it is now and, the next time you output your report into a PDF document you’ll get the full vectorial quality you expect!
Comments closedWith the added functionality of the Brush property and the ClipToPath, Clip and DrawObject methods, Xojo 2022r1 completes the practical PDFGraphics class support for all the methods and properties that makes sense (or are applicable) from Xojo’s Graphics class.
Comments closedEarlier this month we published a way to get the full listing of font styles on Windows, continue reading to see how to get the same on Linux, including the path to the font file!
Comments closedTTC files are TrueType Collection files that contain the data needed to represent multiple font styles and font weights; this is a collection. On the other hand, TTF files are TrueType Font files, that contains the data required to work with only one font style or one font weight (for example: Regular, Bold or Light).

With just a few lines of code, you can create a Xojo app for iOS and Android that shows a new cat picture each time you launch it. I call this app “CatsUp!”. It’s a play on ketchup/catsup, get it?
Comments closedDo you need to display all the font family members (styles and weights) available in your Windows computer? There is a simple way to do it using the RegistryItem class! Continue reading and I’ll show you how.
Comments closedXojo supports dark mode in most of the Desktop controls. However, the TabPanel control doesn’t yet support dark mode. But it can be made to support it. I use a segmented button and a PagePanel to overcome this and in the blog post, I’ll show you how.
Comments closedXojo Mobile and Web project controls don’t raise the TextChanged Event like Desktop controls do. But I want my code to be as similar as possible across all project types so I’ve created some custom controls. In this blog post I’ll walk you through the process of creating a Custom Desktop TextField control.
