@zyx,
With Aspose.Cells we can get list of fonts used in workbook as follows:
Get a List of Fonts used in Spreadsheet or Workbook

Similarly we can get list of fonts available in the system as given below : c# - Obtain installed fonts as a list - Stack Overflow

And finally you may device own logic to find the difference between the two lists like this:
var list3 = list1.Except(list2).ToList();

I could not find any direct method to identify the missing fonts during the conversion however you may prepare own sample code based on above information to achieve the required functionality.

I think so too, but I don’t know what the accuracy is.

Regarding Aspose.Words, you can implement IWarningCallback interface to get the missing fonts notifications. We suggest you please save the document to memory stream (PDF) to get the missing fonts notification. For more detail, please read the following article.

@zyx,
Regarding Aspose.Cells, you may implement IWarningCallBack interface and use appropriate WarningType.FontSubstitution to get warnings about the missing fonts. Here is an article that may assist you to achieve this functionality. Please give it a try and share your feedback.

@zyx,

Just to inform you that as IWarningCallBack API can get font substitution info during conversation, we have already given the details in the post, so we won’t provide any other option or APIs for the task. The ticket is closed now.
