Embedded font not displaying correctly in IE

Aspose.Words Product Family

I’ve converted a Word document to HTML with two embedded fonts. In IE (versions 9 and 11) one of the fonts does not appear correctly.

Under the text “Bar code font:”, it looks like this in IE:

It should look like this (viewing from Chrome):

Thanks for any help

Thanks for your patience. We have investigated the issue and found it is not a bug of Aspose.Words, but a problem with the barcode font.

The font used in the document(‘3 of 9 Barcode’ by CAIL Systems Ltd.) has errors that prevent it from being loaded by Internet Explorer. Aspose.Words exports only a subset of the font, but even if we replace the font file generated by Aspose.Words with the original file downloaded from the Internet, Internet Explorer still not loads it correctly. Additionally, the font validator tool (GitHub - HinTak/Font-Validator: Font Validator is a tool for testing fonts prior to release. This testing ensures that fonts meet Microsoft's high quality standards and perform exceptionally well on Microsoft's platform.) also reports many errors for the original font file.
