If you want to use a mixture of standard text fonts and symbol fonts you will need to use the Language property. The following code does just that.
[C#]
Canvas canvas = new Canvas(300, 200, new XColor(Color.Yellow));
canvas.TextFont = "Times";
canvas.TextSize = 24;
canvas.DrawText("Some text...", new XPoint(0,0), new DrawOptions(canvas));
canvas.Language = "Unicode";
canvas.TextFont = "Wingdings";
canvas.DrawText("Symbols.", new XPoint(0, 60), new DrawOptions(canvas));
canvas.Language = "Latin";
canvas.TextFont = "Times";
canvas.DrawText("Some more text...", new XPoint(0,120), new DrawOptions(canvas));
canvas.SaveAs(Server.MapPath("Canvas_Language_35.gif"));
[Visual Basic]
Dim canvas As New Canvas(300, 200, New XColor(Color.Yellow))
canvas.TextFont = "Times"
canvas.TextSize = 24
canvas.DrawText("Some text...", New XPoint(0, 0), New DrawOptions(canvas))
canvas.Language = "Unicode"
canvas.TextFont = "Wingdings"
canvas.DrawText("Symbols.", New XPoint(0, 60), New DrawOptions(canvas))
canvas.Language = "Latin"
canvas.TextFont = "Times"
canvas.DrawText("Some more text...", New XPoint(0, 120), New DrawOptions(canvas))
canvas.SaveAs(Server.MapPath("Canvas_Language_35.gif"))
It produces the following output image:
