Handling of Unicode Supplemental Characters for Image preview

Aspose.Words Product Family
1

Hi folks!


com.aspose.words.Document.renderToSize() seems to have troubles rendering Unicode characters within the supplemental range. Instead of the Unicode characters, boxes are displayed (see the attached png image).

Attached to this message, three samples (doc, docx, odt) files which are working fine when extracting HTML (com.aspose.words.Document.save() with HtmlSaveOptions(SaveFormat.HTML)), but not when using com.aspose.words.Document.renderToSize()

This is a small issue, but if it could be handled in a future version of Aspose Words, this would be great!

Code snippet:

…
final BufferedImage image = new BufferedImage(renderWidth, renderHeight, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB);
final Graphics2D gr = image.createGraphics();
gr.setColor(Color.WHITE);
gr.fillRect(0, 0, image.getWidth(), image.getHeight());
gr.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_TEXT_ANTIALIASING, RenderingHints.VALUE_TEXT_ANTIALIAS_ON);

doc.renderToSize(page, gr, 0, 0, renderWidth, renderHeight);

final ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
ImageIO.write(image, “png”, out);
…

Hello,

I retried with Aspose.Words 15.1 and even 15.11 which are supposed to contain the fix and in both cases, I still see a list of squares when rendering to image (see attachment)

In addition to the previous problem, for rtf files only, these characters do not work for html extraction as well. I have attached the sample file.
