Arabic Text is rendered incorrectly | DOCX to TIFF Conversion using .NET at Windows 10

Aspose.Words Product Family

Hi,
I am using Aspose word .net to convert Word documents to TIff that have text written in “Simplified Arabic”, When I converted the word to Tiff result was good but when I installed language pack (Arabic Saudi Arabia) in windows 10 and converted word document to Tiff now the tiff image has some of the letters are look odd (only few letters behave like this) and rest are good. Even I uninstalled the language pack from my Systems (windows 10) but still getting same problem, I tried on another developer system where the language pack is never installed the conversion is fine but on my system, getting the same issue. Conversion was fine before installation of Language pack. Would you look into this issue. please see the attachment for details).

My development machine has Aspose for Word 21.1.0 .Net Edition with Windows 10 x64 and MS Office 2019.

Hope to hear from you soon about this.
Thanks & Regards,

Please note that Aspose.Words requires TrueType fonts when rendering document to fixed-page formats (JPEG, PNG, TIFF or XPS). You need to install fonts that are used in your document on the machine where you are converting documents to TIFF. Please refer to the following articles:

Using TrueType Fonts
Manipulating and Substitution TrueType Fonts

If you still face problem, please ZIP and attach your input Word document along with problematic and expected output documents here for testing. We will investigate the issue and provide you more information on it.

Hi Tahir, I have added the above lines of code and read the article. I work well with console application but when I tried same line of code with asp.net mvc project (.net framework ). it’s giving error " Text shaper factory failed to return text shaper for ‘C:\Users\DELL\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Fonts\TIMESBD0_1.TTF’, face index ‘0’ "
Would you please look into this? Project is attached for your review. Thanks

We suggest you please install Aspose.Words.Shaping.HarfBuzz through NuGet. However, if you are adding reference of Aspose.Words.Shaping.HarfBuzz manually, you need to put the correct DLL from Aspose.Words.Shaping.HarfBuzz.21.4.0\runtimes into Debug folder.

Inside the ~/runtimes folder you will find win-x64 and win-x86 folders. Depending upon the platform target (x86, x64), please copy the DLL files from correct folder to inside the Debug folder of your application. Hope this helps you.

The issues you have found earlier (filed as WORDSNET-21763) have been fixed in this Aspose.Words for .NET 21.4 update and this Aspose.Words for Java 21.4 update.

Please try to set explicit value in {Use64BitIISExpress} = x86 or x64 (see Use64BitIISExpress.png (23.4 KB)) and rebuild the project. Hope this helps you.
