I'm inserting a UltraChart (GanttChart) to a pdf using RenderPdfFriendlyGraphics and Infragistics.Documents.Report (btw: so far,  I find the document engine works pretty well, nice!) and I've noticed a couple of places where rendering produces quite different results when using RenderPdfFriendlyGraphics. 

I guess it's to be expected that there are some differences to the normal rendering, but in some places I find the rendering a bit annoying. A particular problem is that Fontstyles seem to get lost. Font that I set to bold like:

[for a label]

LabelStyle labelStyle = textPrimitive.GetLabelStyle();
Font internalFont = new Font(FontFamily.GenericSansSerif, 8, FontStyle.Bold);
labelStyle.Font = internalFont;

[for a textprimitive]

 textPrimitive.labelStyle.Font = new Font(FontFamily.GenericSansSerif, 10, FontStyle.Bold);

are rendered as a normal font in the pdf. Therefore all the font decoration I added to the report in various places is now lost! This is bad. Is it possible to have bold fonts in a chart exported to PDF at all? Only for some fonts perhaps? FontStyle.Underline seems to work fine...

I also found that some textures/hatches are rendered differently:

eg:

PaintElement pe = ...

pe.Fill = Color.Silver;
pe.FillOpacity = 200;
pe.Texture = TexturePresets.Vertical;

here the Opacity is lost.

pe.ElementType = PaintElementType.Hatch;
pe.Hatch = FillHatchStyle.DashedHorizontal;

results in a different HatchStyle. I tried this with different Hatches and the results seem a little unpredictable. Would be great if the HatchStyle was different so that it can be a vector graphic, but unfortunately it's still a raster hatch, just a different one. 

Well, the different HatchStyles I can live with but I have overlapping elements and would really like to continue having opacity.

I believe I can still have opacity for non-textured PaintElements, so I *might* be able to reasonably around this. However, I'm wondering if there is possibly a trick or some textures for which opacity is supported and/or if it's documented anywhere what things work how when using RenderPdfFriendlyGraphics?

In general I think charts export quite well to pdf (having to use bitmaps would look much worse) for standard charts, but I do a bit of custom drawing and I guess not many people want to use textures with opacity (for overlapping elements)... :)

Thanks!
