CSS Font Family issue in Aspose.Cells 7.5.0.0 in .NET

Aspose.Cells Product Family
1
I am using Aspose.Cells 7.5.0.0 to save an Excel Workbook as a HTML document. In the markup generated by Aspose.Cells, the font-family is set as:
"Arial",2;

I believe ,2 is invalid CSS markup caused by a bug in Aspose.Cells 7.5.0.0.

Chrome, Safari and IE8 seem to handle this invalid markup and ignore the ,2. When using an iframe in IE9, it does not. Instead it does not apply the font-family to the cell, even though it is declared in the markup.

If I save my Excel Workbook as HTML using Excel, the resulting font-family is:
Arial, sans-serif;.

I have tested this issue in Aspose.Cells 6.0.1.0 and the issue is not present. In the HTML generated, the font-family is:
"Arial";

Please find attached generated font-family tags from Aspose.Cells 7.5.0.0, 6.0.1.0 and Excel's Save As Html

Hi,


Thanks for providing us screen shots.

Aspose.Cells follows MS Excel standards when converting an Excel file to HTML. Could you try our latest version/fix: Aspose.Cells for .NET v7.5.3 if it makes any difference:

Hi,


Thanks for the template files.

After an initial test, I am able to observe the issue as you have mentioned by your screen shots attached. I tested your scenario / case by using your template Excel file to convert to HTML file format. In the output HTML file’s relevant CSS file, the font-family is set as:
“Arial”,2; whereas if we manually do the conversion (Excel to HTML) in MS Excel, it is set as:
Arial, sans-serif;. Also, the difference of the fonts can be seen when we open the output HTML file into IE browser type. I have logged a ticket with an id “CELLSNET-42000” for your issue. We will look into your issue soon.

Once we have any update on it, we will let you know here.

Thank you.
