Error "Cannot find any fonts installed on the system" when converting to PDF on Linux with Aspose.CAD

Aspose.CAD Product Family

Hi,

As I was trying to convert DWG and DXF files containing text to PDF on a Linux server, I got this error:
com.aspose.cad.internal.Exceptions.InvalidOperationException: Cannot find any fonts installed on the system.

I’m using Aspose.CAD for Java 17.02.

Are there any requirements to execute such conversions on a Linux system ? Are there some packages or modules to be installed to provide fonts ? Is there a way to specify a font path to Aspose.CAD ? Which fonts should be installed ?

This error can be reproduced from your example files, with a modified version of ConvertDWGFileToPDF using the file sample_file.dwg (it contains labels):

public class ConvertDWGFileToPDF {

   public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
      // The path to the resource directory.
      String dataDir = Utils.getDataDir(ConvertDWGFileToPDF.class) + “DWGDrawings/”;
      String srcFile = dataDir + “sample_file.dwg”;

      Image image = Image.load(srcFile);

      // Create an instance of CadRasterizationOptions and set its various properties
      CadRasterizationOptions rasterizationOptions = new CadRasterizationOptions();
      rasterizationOptions.setBackgroundColor(Color.getWhite());
      rasterizationOptions.setPageWidth(1600);
      rasterizationOptions.setPageHeight(1600);

      // Create an instance of PdfOptions
      PdfOptions pdfOptions = new PdfOptions();
      // Set the VectorRasterizationOptions property
      pdfOptions.setVectorRasterizationOptions(rasterizationOptions);

      // Export the DWG to PDF
      image.save(new FileOutputStream(File.createTempFile(“sample_file_out_”,".pdf")), pdfOptions);
   }
}

Hi,


I like to give answers of your following questions.

Are there any requirements to execute such conversions on a Linux system ?

You should to check next points:

  • The fonts must are placed in next directories:
    /usr/share/fonts,~/.fonts, /usr/local/share/fonts, /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts
  • Only TrueType fonts are supported.

Are there some packages or modules to be installed to provide fonts ?

No!

Is there a way to specify a font path to Aspose.CAD ?

Actually no.
The fonts must are placed in next directories:
/usr/share/fonts,~/.fonts, /usr/local/share/fonts, /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts

Which fonts should be installed ?

  • Only TrueType fonts are supported.

Please share feedback with us if there is still an issue.

@l.istin,

I like to inform that for CentOS Linux os. You need to install following

  • fontconfig-devel
  • TrueType fonts

Also Firstly check if command line fs-list returns list of TrueType fonts, if it does then the Aspose.Imaging for Java will work fine.
