Hello,
Hi Neeraj,
Thanks for your posting and using Aspose.Cells.
1. What is the font embedding mechanism used by Aspose while generating PDF of the chart?
In PdfSaveOIptions there is method setEmbedStandardWindowsFonts(…) which embeds the font in the pdf. Does it fully embed fonts or the subset? I could not get this information from the javadoc.
Aspose.Cells always embed fonts inside the generated PDF. Could you please elaborate what do you mean "Does it fully embed fonts or the subset"
2. What is the font emphasise mechanism used by Aspose?
Does Aspose natively emphasise (bold and italicise) text? OR will Aspose require the specific fonts for these?
Aspose.Cells uses fonts from the system directory like C:\Windows\Fonts. Or the fonts from the directory specified using CellsHelper.FontDir proprty. So it means, it does not natively emphasis text. It requires fonts to do so.
- Full Embedding – A full copy of the entire character set of a font is stored in the PDF.
- Subsetting – Only those characters that are actually used in the lay-out are stored in the PDF. If the “$” character doesn’t appear anywhere in the text, that character is not included in the font. This means that PDF files with subsetted fonts are smaller than PDF files with embedded fonts. For subsetted fonts, the font name is preceded by 6 random characters and a plus sign. Subsetting means that only the portions of the font that are actually used in the document are included in the file.

Hi,
Hi Neeraj,
neergupta:Just to elaborate the query let's take an example:For example I use true type font "Helvetica" in my Excel document and apply bold emphasis on it.I have only "Helvetica" font installed on my machine.Will you natively emphasis this while generating pdf or image output. OR look for another font with name "Helvetica Bold" on the machine?
