Pdf.net not recognizing TrueType fonts

Aspose.PDF Product Family
1

I'm trying to use a true type font, but it doesn't recognize any true type font. If I use the line with font=Symbol, it works fine. But, if I use the Wingdings font, I get the default font.

Aspose.Pdf.TextInfo tfChangeFont = new Aspose.Pdf.TextInfo();
tfChangeFont.FontName = "Symbol";
//tfChangeFont.FontName = "Wingdings";
tfChangeFont.FontSize = 12;

Text ChangeFontLine = new Text("Test Font Change",tfChangeFont);
invPage.Paragraphs.Add(ChangeFontLine);

Using Symbol: This is a test

Using Wingdings: This is a test

I have confirmed that the font is in my windows system font directory.

Hello Judy,

Thanks for using our products.

I have tested the scenario with the code snippet that you have shared and using Aspose.Pdf for .NET 4.4.0 and I am unable to notice any problem. Please find attached the resultant PDF that I have generated.

[C#]

Pdf pdf = new Pdf();
Aspose.Pdf.Section sec1 = pdf.Sections.Add();
Aspose.Pdf.TextInfo tfChangeFont = new Aspose.Pdf.TextInfo();
// tfChangeFont.FontName = "Symbol";
tfChangeFont.FontName = "Wingdings";
tfChangeFont.FontSize = 12;
Text ChangeFontLine = new Text("This is a test", tfChangeFont);
sec1.Paragraphs.Add(ChangeFontLine);
pdf.Save(@"d:/pdftest/TrueTypeFont_Test.pdf");

Can you please share which version of Aspose.Pdf for .NET you are using ?

We apologize for your inconvenience.

I'm using Aspose.Pdf for .NET 4.4.0 (net4.0_ClientProfile dll) and VisualStudio 2010.

I ran the code using VisualStudio 2008 and Aspose.Pdf for .NET 4.4.0 (net3.5 dll) and it ran correctly.
