@vinayajo,

Thanks for your inquiry. Please refer to the following article.

You can also copy fonts from Windows and put them into a folder and use these fonts while importing document. Please check the following code example.

FontSettings fontSettings = new FontSettings();
fontSettings.setFontsFolder("/user/tahir/fonts", true);
LoadOptions loadOptions  = new LoadOptions();
loadOptions.setFontSettings(fontSettings);
Document doc = new Document(MyDir + "input.docx", loadOptions);

@vinayajo,

Thanks for your inquiry. Yes, you can put the fonts into resource folder, get the path of resource folder, and use the fonts’ path in FontSettings.setFontsFolder method.

FontSettings fontSettings = new FontSettings();
fontSettings.setFontsFolder("...font folder...", true);

it is not working instead i have tried these below load the requirred fonts(ie. font1.ttf, font2.ttf) as byte array. it worked

ArrayList fontSources = new ArrayList(Arrays.asList(FontSettings.getFontsSources()));
// Add your custom font to the list.

MemoryFontSource memoryFontSource = new MemoryFontSource(your byte[] font data here);

fontSources.add(memoryFontSource);

// Convert the Arraylist of source back into a primitive array of FontSource objects.

FontSourceBase[] updatedFontSources = (FontSourceBase[]) fontSources.toArray(new FontSourceBase[fontSources.size()]);

// Apply the new set of font sources to use.

FontSettings.setFontsSources(updatedFontSources);
