I have updated SpecifyDefaultFontWhenRendering class(Aspose.Words.Examples.CSharp) as below.
----
class SpecifyDefaultFontWhenRendering
{
public static void Run()
{
// ExStart:SpecifyDefaultFontWhenRendering
// The path to the documents directory.
// string dataDir = RunExamples.GetDataDir_RenderingAndPrinting();
string dataDir;
// Document doc = new Document(dataDir + "Rendering.doc");
Document doc = new Document("hgs_pop_font.docx");
FontSettings FontSettings = new FontSettings();
// If the default font defined here cannot be found during rendering then the closest font on the machine is used instead.
FontSettings.DefaultFontName = "Arial Unicode MS";
// Set font settings
doc.FontSettings = FontSettings;
// dataDir = dataDir + "Rendering.SetDefaultFont_out.pdf";
dataDir = "hgs_pop_font_out.pdf";
// Now the set default font is used in place of any missing fonts during any rendering calls.
doc.Save(dataDir);
// ExEnd:SpecifyDefaultFontWhenRendering
Console.WriteLine("\nDefault font is setup during rendering.\nFile saved at " + dataDir);
}
}

I have created word file(hgs_pop_font.docx) in PC1 which has been installed HGS創英角ポップ体 font.
I run the program in PC2 which has NOT been insalled HGS創英角ポップ体 font.
I expected Arial Unicode MS is used, but Meiryo(closest font?) seems to be used in the pdf.
Is the font priority “actual font”(HGS創英角ポップ体) > “closest font”(Meiryo) > “default font”(Arial Unicode MS)?
I would like the font priorty as “actual font”(HGS創英角ポップ体) > “default font”(Arial Unicode MS) > “closest font”(Meiryo).
Do you have any solution?
Thanks for your inquiry. We have tested the scenario and have managed to reproduce the same issue at our side. For the sake of correction, we have logged this problem in our issue tracking system as WORDSNET-15323. You will be notified via this forum thread once this issue is resolved. We apologize for your inconvenience.
Please use FontSettings.SetFontSubstitutes method as a workaround of this issue. Hope this helps you.
Document doc = new Document(MyDir + "hgs_pop_font.docx");
FontSettings FontSettings = new FontSettings();
FontSettings.SetFontSubstitutes("HGS創英角ﾎﾟｯﾌﾟ体", new string[] { "Arial Unicode MS" });
doc.FontSettings = FontSettings;
doc.Save(MyDir + "output.pdf");
Thanks for your patience. It is to inform you that the issue which you are facing is actually not a bug in Aspose.Words. So, we have closed this issue (WORDSNET-15323) as ‘Not a Bug’.
Please note that now font substitution mechanism will override the FontSettings.DefaultFontName in cases when FontInfo for the missing font is available in the document. FontSettings.DefaultFontName will be used only in cases when there are no FontInfo for the missing font. We have updated the article about font availability and substitution. Please read the detail from here: Font Availability and Substitution

// Find any fonts in the specified directory, then during rendering the fonts in the document will be subsuited with the default

Thanks for your your inquiry. Please note that Aspose.Words mimics the same behavior as MS Word does. Aspose.Words evaluates all related fields in FontInfo (Panose, Sig etc) and finds the closest match among the available font sources. Please remove “Meiryo” font from your font sources and execute the same code to check this behavior.
Thank you for support.
I cannot remove “Meiryo” font from my PC because it is system font. You mean the most suitable font overrides FontSettings.DefaultFontName. is that right? I may need the new mode that FontSettings.DefaultFontName overrides the most suitable font.
Thank you.
Thanks for your your inquiry. Yes, your understanding is correct. If the most suitable font is available in font sources, it will override the FontSettings.DefaultFontName.
Please check the members of FontSettings class. You may achieve your requirements using FontSettings.SetFontSubstitutes and FontSettings.AddFontSubstitutes methods. Hope this helps you .
