I’m evaluating Aspose.CAD for Java to build a CAD viewer for our application and have a question. The CAD is converted to an image, which is displayed in the frontend. The problem is that the texts are pixelated and hard to read. How can I solve this problem?
I tried to substitute the fonts as proposed in the developer guide (CadStyleTableObject.setPrimaryFontName()) but it doesn’t change anything.
@marlov ,
Can you please share source file so that we may further investigate to help you out.

Following behind an example illustrating my problem. I renamed the dxf file to .dxf.zip since the dxf extension was not allowed for upload.
test-E341658425100-1.dxf.zip (304.6 KB)test-E341658425100-1.dxf-arial-ttf.png (51.9 KB)
Output of another tool I got to compare with:test-E341658425100-1-dxf-expected-output.jpg (79.9 KB)

It’s not a real zip, I just used this allowed extension. Please rename test-E341658425100-1.dxf.zip back to test-E341658425100-1.dxf .
@marlov ,
I have been able to observe issue and created an issue with ID CADJAVA-565 to further investigate and resolve the issue. This thread has been linked with the issue so that you may be notified once the issue will be fixed.
