Hello,
I am trying to use the below

Document doc = new Document("Sultan.docx");
FontSettings FontSettings = new FontSettings();
FontSettings.DefaultFontName = "Sultan normal";
FontSettings.SetFontsFolder(@"C:\MyFonts", false);
doc.Save(@"Sultan.pdf", SaveFormat.Pdf);

The fonts are embedded in the PDF however the letters aren’t displayed in the correct way, as if it couldn’t find the fonts.
I have attached fonts am working with.
Also Simplified Arabic is not working which is a windows system font.
I am using version 11.5
Thx,

Hi there,

Thanks for sharing the document. Please note that Aspose.Words requires TrueType fonts when rendering documents to fixed-page formats (JPEG, PNG, PDF or XPS). You need to install fonts on the machine where you’re converting documents to Pdf. Please refer to the following articles:

How Aspose.Words Uses True Type Fonts
How to Receive Notification of Missing Fonts and Font Substitution during Rendering

We suggest you please use following code example to get the desired output. Hope this helps you. We have attached the output document with this post for your kind reference.

Document doc = new Document(MyDir + "Sultan.docx");
FontSettings.DefaultInstance.DefaultFontName = "Sultan normal";
// Retrieve the array of environment-dependent font sources that are searched by default. For example this will contain a "Windows\Fonts\" source on a Windows machines.
// We add this array to a new ArrayList to make adding or removing font entries much easier.
ArrayList fontSources = new ArrayList(FontSettings.DefaultInstance.GetFontsSources());
// Add a new folder source which will instruct Aspose.Words to search the following folder for fonts.
FolderFontSource folderFontSource = new FolderFontSource(@"c:\MyFonts\", true);
// Add the custom folder which contains our fonts to the list of existing font sources.
fontSources.Add(folderFontSource);
// Convert the Arraylist of source back into a primitive array of FontSource objects.
FontSourceBase[] updatedFontSources = (FontSourceBase[])fontSources.ToArray(typeof(FontSourceBase));
// Apply the new set of font sources to use.
FontSettings.DefaultInstance.SetFontsSources(updatedFontSources);
doc.Save(MyDir + " Out v16.5.0.0.pdf");

Well it is the same result I got and it is actually wrong.
Some letters are replaced with the word “سلطان”.Space character mainly
you could also check the following fonts already uploaded in my first post:

  1. Sakkal Majalla
  2. Simplified Arabic
  3. AL-Mohanad

The documents are converted however font is not correct.
Try to compare the word document with the pdf.
Thank you for your prompt reply,

Hi Tahir,

Thank you for the above.
Also please take into consideration that Justify low,medium and high in Microsoft word aren’t taken into consideration when converting the word document to PDF.
If you apply justify high to a paragraph then you convert it to PDF, the PDF remains intact without applying the necessary styling/format.

Thx,

Dear Tahir,

Kindly find attached the word document with justify high formatting.
You can also check the converted attached PDF document.
The converted PDF document text formatting is different from the word document.

Thx,
