 protected override void OnPaint(PaintEventArgs e)
        {
            base.OnPaint(e);
            StringFormat myMeasureFormat = new System.Drawing.StringFormat(System.Drawing.StringFormat.GenericTypographic);
            myMeasureFormat.FormatFlags = System.Drawing.StringFormatFlags.FitBlackBox | System.Drawing.StringFormatFlags.MeasureTrailingSpaces;
            myMeasureFormat.FormatFlags |= StringFormatFlags.DirectionVertical;

            e.Graphics.DrawString("ᠭᠭ᠌ᠭᠭ᠌ᠭᠭ᠌ᠭᠭ᠌ᠭᠭ᠌ᠭᠭ᠌ᠭᠭ᠌ᠭᠭ᠌ᠭᠭ᠌ᠭᠭ᠌ᠭᠭ᠌ᠭᠭ᠌ᠭᠭ᠌ᠭ", new Font("Mongolian Baiti", 12), new SolidBrush(Color.Red), new PointF(0, 0), myMeasureFormat);
        }

Did you try other texts? This example seems to work:

e.Graphics.DrawString( "ᠸᠢᠺᠢᠫᠧᠳᠢᠶᠠ᠂\r\nᠴᠢᠯᠦᠭᠡᠲᠦ ᠨᠡᠪᠲᠡᠷᠬᠡᠢ ᠲᠣᠯᠢ ᠪᠢᠴᠢᠭ ᠪᠣᠯᠠᠢ᠃", . . .

Yes， I try other texts, some seems right, but some seems not right.

I haven't learn mongolian , so I just compare the mongolian with that I input in the Micorsoft Word.

In the above case， Micorsoft Word can display well.

Answer 1

Hi @Fiona , Welcome to Microsoft Q&A.

I'm not an expert in Mongolian, so I can only give you my opinion.

The character "ᠭ᠌" can only appear at the end of a sentence, and if it appears in a word, there will be a drawing error.

enter image description here

The character "ᠭ᠌" has three variants. Their encodings are different, and I can't distinguish them from the appearance.

You need to use replace to replace all "ᠭ᠌" with "ᠭ".

StringFormat myMeasureFormat = new System.Drawing.StringFormat(System.Drawing.StringFormat.GenericTypographic);
myMeasureFormat.FormatFlags = System.Drawing.StringFormatFlags.FitBlackBox | System.Drawing.StringFormatFlags.MeasureTrailingSpaces;
myMeasureFormat.FormatFlags |= StringFormatFlags.DirectionVertical;
string originalText = "ᠭᠭ᠌ᠭᠭ᠌ᠭᠭ᠌ᠭᠭ᠌ᠭᠭ᠌ᠭᠭ᠌ᠭᠭ᠌ᠭᠭ᠌ᠭᠭᠭᠭ᠌ᠭᠭ᠌ᠭᠭ᠌ᠭ";
string modifiedText = originalText.Replace("ᠭ᠌", "ᠭ");
// e.Graphics.DrawString("ᠭᠭᠭᠭᠭᠭᠭᠭᠭᠭᠭᠭᠭᠭᠭᠭᠭᠭᠭᠭᠭᠭ ᠭᠭᠭ ᠮᠤᠩᠭᠤᠯ ᠬᠡᠯᠡ", new Font("Mongolian Baiti", 12), new SolidBrush(Color.Red), new PointF(0, 0), myMeasureFormat);
e.Graphics.DrawString(modifiedText, new Font("Mongolian Baiti", 12), new SolidBrush(Color.Red), new PointF(0, 0), myMeasureFormat);

enter image description here

Thank you for your answer.

I tried as what you told, it works!

But how do i know whether there is a wrong char at the end of the string?

Whenever before i display a string, i should replace the wrong string with the right one?

This character is an effect of Mongolian grammar, and they all display correctly when you type Mongolian correctly. Because they can all be converted into corresponding codes. The output is wrong because the input itself is wrong. This is not your cause. For the error caused by this reason, you can use the above method to solve it. There is also a way to output the string as a whole, but it may not have as many output types as you want.

string mongolianText = "ᠭᠭ᠌ᠭᠭ᠌ᠭᠭ᠌ᠭᠭ᠌ᠭᠭ᠌ᠭᠭ᠌ᠭᠭ᠌ᠭᠭ᠌ᠭᠭ᠌ᠭᠭ᠌ᠭᠭ᠌ ᠮᠤᠩᠭᠤᠯ ᠬᠡᠯᠡ"; Font mongolianFont = new Font("Mongolian Baiti", 12); SolidBrush brush = new SolidBrush(Color.Black); Rectangle rect = new Rectangle(0, 0, 200, 200); TextRenderer.DrawText(e.Graphics, mongolianText, mongolianFont, rect, Color.Black, TextFormatFlags.VerticalCenter | TextFormatFlags.HorizontalCenter);

Answer 2

Hi,

I'd be happy to help you out with your question. Sorry for the inconvenience caused.

To do this, please ensure that you have the Mongolian Baiti font installed on your computer. If you don't have the font installed, you can download it from a trusted source and install it on your system.

Once you have the font installed, you can use the following code snippet in your C# application to display Mongolian Baiti characters:

protected override void OnPaint(PaintEventArgs e)
{
    base.OnPaint(e);
    
    string text = "ᠭᠭ᠌ᠭᠭ᠌ᠭᠭ᠌ᠭᠭ᠌ᠭᠭ᠌ᠭᠭ᠌ᠭᠭ᠌ᠭᠭ᠌ᠭᠭ᠌ᠭᠭ᠌ᠭᠭ᠌ᠭᠭ᠌ᠭ";
    Font font = new Font("Mongolian Baiti", 12);
    SolidBrush brush = new SolidBrush(Color.Red);
    PointF location = new PointF(0, 0);
    
    e.Graphics.DrawString(text, font, brush, location);
}

Please note that you should verify that the font name "Mongolian Baiti" matches the actual font name installed on your system. Also, feel free to adjust the font size, color, and position as per your requirements.

Keep in mind that rendering complex scripts like Mongolian can be influenced by various factors, including system settings, the text rendering engine, and the application you're using. If you encounter any issues with rendering, it may be necessary to investigate further or consider utilizing a more specialized library or framework that provides enhanced support for complex scripts.

If you have any other questions or need assistance with anything, please don't hesitate to let me know. I'm here to help.

Thank you for your answer.

I have confirmed that I have the font named "Mongolian Baiti".

I add another string named text1 to my demo, it displays well.

By the way ,I use .Net framework 4, vs 2017.

What settings should I change next？

protected override void OnPaint(PaintEventArgs e) { base.OnPaint(e); string text = "ᠭᠭ᠌ᠭᠭ᠌ᠭᠭ᠌ᠭᠭ᠌ᠭᠭ᠌ᠭᠭ᠌ᠭᠭ᠌ᠭᠭ᠌ᠭᠭ᠌ᠭᠭ᠌ᠭᠭ᠌ᠭᠭ᠌ᠭ"; string text1 = "ᠴᠢᠯᠦᠭᠡᠲᠦ ᠨᠡᠪᠲᠡᠷᠬᠡᠢ ᠲᠣᠯᠢ ᠪᠢᠴᠢᠭ"; Font font = new Font("Mongolian Baiti", 12); SolidBrush brush = new SolidBrush(Color.Red); PointF location = new PointF(0, 0); PointF location1 = new PointF(0, 50); e.Graphics.DrawString(text, font, brush, location); e.Graphics.DrawString(text1, font, brush, location1); }
