Hi,


When we use mailmerge on linux with java / tomcat server and convert the result to PDF, we lost some specific characters like arrow.

Please see attached files word.doc the result of mailmerge on linux server and pdf.pdf the result of mailmerge on linux server.

As you can see, we lost specific characters like arrow on the top off the document.

For your informations, this work on debian server with mstcorefonts package, but on RHEL 6 it doesn’t, even with mstcorefonts package …

We use Aspose version 14.5 with licences corporate.

Please help us this problem is blocking us.

regards,
Julien

Hi Julien,

Thanks for your inquiry. I tested the scenario and have managed to reproduce the same problem on my side.

Hi Julien,


Thanks for being patient. The problem occurs because the source document contains the following two Windows fonts which are not present on your Linux system:

1. Times New Roman, Regular
2. Symbol, Bold

We can suggest you the following three options:

2. Register the font as External one, see this article.
3. The last option - do not use Windows-Only fonts in source documents at all.

I hope, this helps.

Best regards,
