Aspose.Cells.GridJs: The type initializer for 'Gdip' threw an exception. System.Drawing.Common is not supported on non-Windows platforms

Aspose.Cells Product Family

Hi,

I had Aspose.Cells license and use Aspose.Cells.GridJs to show Excel files in web application to users. Code is deployed to Linux. But unfortunately after upgrading to .NET 8 I face exception for some of the Excel files:

System.TypeInitializationException:
at System.Drawing.SafeNativeMethods+Gdip.GdipCreateFontFamilyFromName (System.Drawing.Common, Version=6.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=cc7b13ffcd2ddd51)
at System.Drawing.FontFamily.CreateFontFamily (System.Drawing.Common, Version=6.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=cc7b13ffcd2ddd51)
at . (Aspose.Cells.GridJs, Version=24.8.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=699ccf88ff76f11a)

at . (Aspose.Cells.GridJs, Version=24.8.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=699ccf88ff76f11a)

It seems Aspose.Cells.GridJs is still not upgraded to not use System.Drawing.Common (6.0.0) at non-Windows machines and Aspose.Cells.GridJs nuget package has System.Drawing.Common as dependency.

I found similar issue for other Aspose project. I believe For GridJs we need similar fix:

Can you please fix this?
