After Exporting PPTX to PDF in Java, the German Umlaut Becomes Bold in PDF

I use Aspose Slides Java to export a PPT to PDF, however the German umlaut becomes bold on PDF.

Here it is the original PPT file
Präsentation Vim.zip (1,3 MB)

Here it is the Aspose generated PDF file
Aspose_PPTX.pdf (6,2 MB)

On the first page, as you can see, the German language Umlaut “Ü” becomes bold in PDF.

By the way, this Powerpoint file uses Roboto-font, which is not part of standard windows installation, and our Aspose Service runs on a standard windows server.

Our current code is so:

final com.aspose.slides.LoadOptions loadOptions = new LoadOptions();
loadOptions.getBlobManagementOptions().setPresentationLockingBehavior(PresentationLockingBehavior.KeepLocked);
loadOptions.getBlobManagementOptions().setTemporaryFilesAllowed(true);
loadOptions.getBlobManagementOptions().setTempFilesRootPath(""); //TODO: set Temp Files path
loadOptions.getBlobManagementOptions().setMaxBlobsBytesInMemory(100000000);
loadOptions.setDefaultTextLanguage();

final Presentation presentation = new Presentation(pptFilename, loadOptions);
presentation.save(targetPDFname, com.aspose.slides.SaveFormat.Pdf);

We use Aspose Total License and Gradle Kotlin, how should I adjust the dependency for this update?

@zwei,
Our developers have reviewed your question. Please use the following code:

compile(group: 'com.aspose', name: 'aspose-slides', version: '24.3', classifier: 'jdk16')

You should also need to add this repository:

    maven {
        url "https://releases.aspose.com/java/repo/"
    }
}
