Port of the PdfSharp library to .NET Core - largely removed GDI+ (only missing GetFontData - which can be replaced with freetype2)

PdfSharpCore

PdfSharpCore is a partial port of PdfSharp.Xamarin for .NET Standard. Additionally MigraDoc has been ported as well (from version 1.32). Image support has been implemented with SixLabors.ImageSharp and Fonts support with SixLabors.Fonts.

using PdfSharpCore.Utils;

GlobalFontSettings.FontResolver = new FontResolver();

var document = new PdfDocument();
var page = document.AddPage();

var gfx = XGraphics.FromPdfPage(page);
var font = new XFont("Arial", 20, XFontStyle.Bold);

var textColor = XBrushes.Black;
var layout = new XRect(20, 20, page.Width, page.Height);
