Java Code to Convert MSG with Foreign Chinese Characters to PDF on Ubuntu | MS JhengHei Font | Aspose.Email & Aspose.Words

Aspose.Words Product Family

Hello,

I have an issue when trying to convert an msg file that contains chinese characters to a pdf using Aspose.words for java running on ubuntu. The msg file contains characters that are in the Microsoft Jhenghei font family and it doesn’t appear that aspose has a mapping for this font family since they get rendered out as boxes. I added a variety of fonts and specified a font folder and that did not seem to make a difference.

Is there somewhere to get the default mappings of languages that aspose supports by defaults? Is there not a default fallback for this Microsoft font?
