@AlexanderNovickov,

Please try the following code:

Document doc = new Document("C:\\Temp\\Helvetica\\in.docx");

FontSettings fontSettings = new FontSettings();
AddCustomFontsFolder(fontSettings, @"C:\Temp\Helvetica\Helvetica\");
doc.FontSettings = fontSettings;

doc.Save(@"C:\Temp\Helvetica\\21.2.docx");
doc.Save(@"C:\Temp\Helvetica\\21.2.pdf");

private static void AddCustomFontsFolder(FontSettings fontSettings, string folder)
{
    ArrayList fontSources = new ArrayList(fontSettings.GetFontsSources());

    // Add a new folder source which will instruct Aspose.Words to search the following folder for fonts.
    FolderFontSource folderFontSource = new FolderFontSource(folder, 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.SetFontsSources(updatedFontSources);
}
