SonuKapoor · January 13, 2014, 9:11am

Hello,

I am using the latest version of ASPOSE.PDF and noticed that the font HelveticaNeue LT 85 Heavy is not supported. Is there a way for me to use this font?

Thanks

Hi Sonu,

Thanks for your inquiry. As your font is not a supported font, you can try embedding your font in your PDF document. Please check the following articles for details and sample code regarding font embedding. Hopefully it will help you to fix the issue. If issue persist then please share your font file and sample code, so we will test the scenario at our end and will provide you more information accordingly.

Hi,

I have tried this but it doesnt work. Here is the error message:

The Font ‘HelveticaNeue LT 85 Heavy’ is not found. This font is not supported.

I set the font on the pdf using:

pdf.TextInfo.IsFontEmbedded = true;

pdf.TextInfo.FontName = “HelveticaNeue LT 85 Heavy”;

And on the individual textinfo inside a table cell:

TextInfo info = new TextInfo

{

FontSize = fontSize,

CharSpace = 0,

Color = new Color(color),

FontName = “HelveticaNeue LT 85 Heavy”,

//FontName = “Helvetica-Bold”,

IsFontEmbedded = true

};

Attached is the font for you.

Hi Sonu,

In reference to the ticket ID PDFNET-36270, please use the new DOM approach of Aspose.Pdf for .NET API. It is enough to connect the desired font by calling OpenFont method of the FontRepository class. The following code snippet creates a PDF document with font “Helvetica Neue LT 85 Heavy” from ttf font file “LTe50267.ttf”. An output PDF of the code is attached to this reply.

[.NET, C#]

//open document
Document pdfDocument = new Document();
//get particular page
Page pdfPage = pdfDocument.Pages.Add();
 //create text fragment
TextFragment textFragment = new TextFragment(“New appended text”); textFragment.Position = new Position(280, 700); //set text properties
textFragment.TextState.FontSize = 12;
textFragment.TextState.Font = FontRepository.OpenFont(myDir + “LTe50267.ttf”);
textFragment.TextState.BackgroundColor = Aspose.Pdf.Color.Parse(“LightGray”);
textFragment.TextState.ForegroundColor = Aspose.Pdf.Color.Parse(“Red”); // create TextBuilder object
TextBuilder textBuilder = new TextBuilder(pdfPage); // append the text fragment to the PDF page
textBuilder.AppendText(textFragment); //save document
pdfDocument.Save(myDir + “output.pdf”);
