I am working on font substitution topic when converting ppt to PDF on WINDOWS 10.
I have PPT where “Arial” font is used, while conversion to PDF I want to substitute “Arial” font to “Comic Relief” font (font installed on my WINDOWS machine). Below is code for font substitution.
IFontData sourceFontArial = new FontData("Arial");
IFontData destFontComic = new FontData("Comic Relief");
IFontSubstRule fontSubstRule = new FontSubstRule(sourceFontArial, destFontComic,
FontSubstCondition.Always);
IFontSubstRuleCollection slidesFontSettings = new FontSubstRuleCollection();
slidesFontSettings.add(fontSubstRule);
com.aspose.slides.LoadOptions pptLoadOptions = AsposeConfig.getSlidesLoadOptions();
WarningCallbackSlides warningCallbackSlides = new WarningCallbackSlides(); // class created for warning callback
pptLoadOptions.setWarningCallback(warningCallbackSlides);
Presentation presentation = new Presentation(sourceFilePath, pptLoadOptions);
presentation.getFontsManager().setFontSubstRuleList(slidesFontSettings);
presentation.save(outputFilePath, SaveFormat.Pdf);
Here issue I am facing:
- PDF is generated, but Font from “Arial” to “Comic Relief” is not substituted.
- I am getting warning callback from aspose saying : "Font will be substituted from Comic Relief to {Arial,Cambria Math,MS Gothic,Gulim,Arial Unicode,SimSun,Segoe UI Symbol,DejaVu Sans,Liberation Serif,FreeSans}
Please help me if I am doing anything wrong.
Note: This substitution issue is happening with any windows font, I have taken “Arial” font for example purpose. substitution is working correctly “Arial” to “Calibri” without any warning.

@dnyandevp,
Thank you for the files and information. I found that there are different binaries of the Comic Relief font you mentioned. Could you please also share the font from your operating system?

As a workaround, you can use the FontsLoader.loadExternalFonts method and specify the folder to custom fonts as shown below. It will help.
Thanks for your quick response.
I tried to load external fonts using workaround as explained above and which is working fine.
But I am facing another issue that, WarningCallback is not working when I upgrade Aspose slide version to latest V23.1, (you can refer same example shared in last post). I can able to get WarningCallback when I use older aspose slide version V22.3.
Could you please let me know if I am doing anything wrong.
Thanks in advance.
I shared above code just for example purpose. You can change font name in example, so that it will throw warning. I tried but it is not throwing any warning.
Could you please check?
@dnyandevp,
Thank you for the explanation. I reproduced the problem with disappearing the warning in Aspose.Slides 23.1.

@dnyandevp,
As for the issue SLIDESJAVA-39120, our developers were unable to reproduce the problem with the font substitution when Comic Relief font is installed on the operating system. Could you please check the availability of Comic Relief font from your app?
Thanks for your response. SLIDESJAVA-39120 issue resolved at my end as well. Issue was specific to my system. I tried on different machine and it is working.
What about SLIDESJAVA-39121 issue, I still not able to get warning callback even though fonts are replaced?
@dnyandevp,
The issue SLIDESJAVA-39121 has not been resolved yet. Unfortunately, I don’t have any other information. You will be notified when the issue is resolved.
@dnyandevp,
As for the SLIDESJAVA-39121 issue, the substitution message occurs at the moment of saving the presentation. In this case, you should use SaveOptions like this:
SaveOptions saveOptions = new PdfOptions();
saveOptions.setWarningCallback(new WarningCallbackSlides());
Presentation pres = new Presentation("FontTest_Arial (1).pptx");
try {
pres.save("output.pdf", SaveFormat.Pdf, saveOptions);
} finally {
if (pres != null) pres.dispose();
}
