I used the tip in this thread to solve my disappearing text when printing issue:http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/85345-PrintTask-With-Text-Graphics-Containing-Custom-Attributes-Err...However, as mentioned, clearing my attributes effectively cleared my text graphic. I'm now creating a new TextSymbol for each text graphic, but as I'm unable to control font weight and style, I followed first option in the following thread and created a new TextSymbol, inheriting from MarkerSymbol.http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/27372-how-to-define-fontstyle-for-textsymbol?p=91150&viewfull=1#pos...Now, my text symbols show up as point graphics when printed. When using a typical TextSymbol, the text prints fine. I'm sure I'm missing something when subclassing, I'm just not sure what. Any help would be greatly appreciated.public class MyTextSymbol : MarkerSymbol { public MyTextSymbol() { TextSymbol textSymbol = new TextSymbol(); this.ControlTemplate = textSymbol.ControlTemplate; this.FontFamily = new FontFamily("Arial"); this.FontSize = 12; this.FontStyle = FontStyles.Normal; this.FontWeight = FontWeights.Normal; this.TextDecorations = null; } public String Text { get { return GetValue(TextProperty) as String; } set { SetValue(TextProperty, value); } } /// <summary> /// Identifies the <see cref="Text"/> dependency property. /// </summary> public static readonly DependencyProperty TextProperty = DependencyProperty.Register("Text", typeof(String), typeof(MyTextSymbol), new PropertyMetadata(OnTextPropertyChanged)); private static void OnTextPropertyChanged(DependencyObject d, DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs e) { String text = e.NewValue as String; } public Double?
