I understand that you want to use a true type font instead of a bitmap one in your GUI and PDF print. There are a few steps you can take to achieve this:
- First, you need to make sure that the font you want to use is available to MATLAB. You can use the listTrueTypeFonts1 function to see the list of true type fonts that MATLAB can access. If the font you want is not in the list, you need to install it on your system and restart MATLAB. For Windows, you can install a new font by opening the folder Start->Control Panel->Fonts and selecting File->Install New Font2. For Linux, you can add fonts to X11 by using the command xset +fp <path_to_fonts_directory>2.
- Second, you need to set the FontName property of your GUI components to the name of the font you want to use. You can do this in the Inspector (property editor) or in your code. For example, if you want to use Arial as your font, you can write something like this:
h = uicontrol('Style','text','String','Hello World','FontName','Arial');
- Third, you need to print your GUI figure to a PDF file using the print function. You can specify the output format, resolution, and paper size using the appropriate options. For example, if you want to print your figure to a file called myfigure.pdf with a resolution of 300 dpi and a paper size of A4, you can write something like this:
print('myfigure.pdf','-dpdf','-r300','-bestfit')
Alternatively, you can use the Export Setup or Print Preview windows to adjust the settings and export or print your figure3.
I hope this helps you with your project. If you have any questions, please let me know. 😊
