I am trying to convert a Word document to PDF that contains Japanese characters on a linux machine.
The Word document includes the font Noto Sans CJK JP Regular and I verify that it is included in the document on the server with the following code
FontInfoCollection fontsInfo = doc.getFontInfos();
for (FontInfo info : fontsInfo) {
logger*** .debug("Font name: " + info.getName());
}
And I can see the following logging on the server
“Font name: Noto Sans CJK JP Regular”
When I save the document to a PDF I am getting the following warning from the
I am getting the following warning from the IWarningCallback callback
“ Font substitution: Font 'Noto Sans CJK JP Regular' has not been found. Using 'DejaVu Sans Condensed' font instead. Reason: closest match according to font info from the document.”

Realized I had posted the wrong files. Sorry about that. A have attached a new ZIP file with one Word file using an OpenType font and one with an TrueType font + PDFs saved on Linux and Windows. When using TrueType fonts it works on Linux, when using OpenType it does not work.
I have another issue as well with fonts. Tell me if you want me to create a separate issue.
When I use a TrueType font and setting some of the text as bold, the bold text is not saved correctly in the PDF when saved on Linux. On Windows it works (where I have the fonts installed). The Word document embeds the font used.Bold.zip (1.2 MB)
We have tested the scenario using the latest version of Aspose.Words for Java 18.9 and have not found the shared issue. Please check the attached output PDF. 18.9.pdf (1.0 MB)
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-17471. You will be notified via this forum thread once this issue is resolved. We apologize for your inconvenience.
I am also using Aspose.Word for Java 18.9 but I cannot get it to work when using Bold on my text and saving the pdf on a machine where the fonts is not already installed. I have verified this on both Linux and Windows.
I could not download the file you uploaded (18.9) due to error “Sorry, this file is private. Only visible to topic owner and staff members.”, which is strange since I thought I was the topic owner.
This is my test code
Document doc = new Document("Test_TrueType_Bold.docx");
PdfSaveOptions saveOptions = new PdfSaveOptions();
doc.save("Test_TrueType_Bold.pdf", saveOptions);
Is there something I am doing wrong?
I have attached the word file and result when I run on Windows where the fonts does not exists.
This is the Java version I am using
java version “1.8.0_161”
Java™ SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_161-b12)
Java HotSpot™ 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.161-b12, mixed mode)
Please accept my apologies for your inconvenience. The issue related to bold font formatting was logged as WORDSNET-17471. We are unable to reproduce the second issue related to OpenType fonts.
I am also using Aspose Word for Java 18.9 but I cannot get it to work when saving a PDF from a Word document and an OpenType font is embedded in the Word document. If the font is installed on the machine it works, it the font is removed it does not work. I have verified this on both Windows and Linux.
This is my code
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
Test test = new Test();
test.generate();
}
public void generate() throws Exception {
wordsLicense.setLicense("Aspose.Total.Java.lic");
Document doc = new Document(new FileInputStream("Test_OpenType.docx"));
printFontInfo(doc);
PdfSaveOptions saveOptions = new PdfSaveOptions();
doc.setWarningCallback(new HandleDocumentWarnings());
doc.save(new FileOutputStream("Test_OpenType.pdf"), saveOptions);
}
public class HandleDocumentWarnings implements IWarningCallback {
public void warning(WarningInfo info) {
if (info.getWarningType() == WarningType.FONT_SUBSTITUTION) {
System.out.println("Font substitution: " + info.getDescription());
}
}
}
private void printFontInfo(Document doc) {
FontInfoCollection fontsInfo = doc.getFontInfos();
for (FontInfo info : fontsInfo) {
System.out.println("Font name: " + info.getName());
System.out.println(" Is TrueType: " + info.isTrueType());
}
}
and this is the output I am getting on Windows
Font name: Noto Sans CJK JP Regular
Is TrueType: false
Font name: Times New Roman
Is TrueType: true
Font name: MS Gothic
Is TrueType: true
Font substitution: Font 'Noto Sans CJK JP Regular' has not been found. Using 'Malgun Gothic Semilight' font instead. Reason: closest match according to font info from the document.
and this is the output I am getting on Linux
Font name: Noto Sans CJK JP Regular
Is TrueType: false
Font name: Times New Roman
Is TrueType: true
Font name: MS Gothic
Is TrueType: true
Font substitution: Font 'Noto Sans CJK JP Regular' has not been found. Using 'DejaVu Sans Condensed' font instead. Reason: closest match according to font info from the document.
Attached is the Word file I am using and the output from Windows.Windows.zip (621.5 KB)

Thanks for your patience. Please note that Aspose.Words mimics the behavior of MS Word. Regarding WORDSNET-17484, If you embed the font “Noto Sans CJK JP Regular” into document using MS Word, it is not embedded into document. So, it is not a bug in Aspose.Words.
