Question

I’m trying to draw text, which contains symbols from “Combining Diacritical Marcs” unicode subrange (U+0300 – U+FE23). For example i tried to draw string “T̅”, wich contains of two characters: ‘T’ and ‘\u0305’.

I’ve got that:

Is there any way to get correct text?

Addition: I need to draw rotated text too.

PS: my code:

private void Form1_Paint(object sender, PaintEventArgs e) {
  Graphics g = e.Graphics;
  Font fontTahoma = new Font("Tahoma", 16);
  Font fontTimesNewRom = new Font("Times New Romulan", 16);
  Font fontArial = new Font("Arial", 16);
  Brush brush = new SolidBrush(Color.Red);
  g.DrawString("Test1 T̅ T\u0305", fontTahoma, brush, new PointF(20, 20));
  g.DrawString("Test1 T̅ T\u0305", fontTimesNewRom, brush, new PointF(20, 40));
  g.DrawString("Test1 T̅ N\u0305", fontArial, brush, new PointF(20, 60));
}

Answer 1

TextRenderer seems to draw it better:

TextRenderer.DrawText(g, "Test1 T̅ T\u0305", fontTahoma, 
                                            new Point(120, 20), Color.Black);
