Font source could not be opened (Exception in Pdf.Save method)

Aspose.PDF Product Family
#1

Today I made the giant leap in updates from Aspose.Pdf v4.8 to version 6.9. I'm now getting an exception in Pdf.Save() that reads:

Font source could not be opened: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/

I'm not sure why it would be looking for that path. It appears to be a Linux path but I'm running this all in a Windows environment. Is there some new property I'm overlooking that needs to be set?

Thanks.

Here is some test code that is repeatedly exceptioning in a standard ASPX WebForm.

protected void Page_Load(object
sender, EventArgs e)
{
 Pdf pdf1 = new
Pdf();

Section
sec1 = pdf1.Sections.Add();

Text txt = new
Text(“Some
Text”);

sec1.Paragraphs.Add(txt);



MemoryStream
ms = new MemoryStream();

pdf1.SetUnicode();

pdf1.Save(ms);

}<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = “urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office” /><o:p></o:p>

Just add a reference to the Aspose.Pdf v6.9.

Thanks.

Resultant file is attached for your reference. However, to exactly replicate your issue at our end, we would appreciate, if you create a sample application and post here to show the issue.

Ok, two days later I've tracked down the issue. The problem appears to be a collision of "AppSettings" in the Web.Config file.

Our application is using an AppSetting named "TempFolder". When the setting is present, we receive the "Font source could not be opened." message.

I have attached a sample project that includes both my original test sample code (posted previously) and a simple web.config with the one app setting present.

Hi David,

As stated above, your reported issue has been fixed. Please use new DOM approach to create PDF document, It will help you to accomplish the task.


Document doc = new Document();
Page page = doc.Pages.Add();
TextFragment txt = new TextFragment("Some Text");
page.Paragraphs.Add(txt);
MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream();
doc.Save(ms);

Please feel free to contact us for any further assistance.

Best Regards,
