Thank you for contacting support.

You may set custom font for any text fragment with FontRepository.FindFont method as explained in Formatting PDF Document. Or you can connect custom font directory to use custom or foreign characters in your documents.

// connect custom font directory
FolderFontSource fs = new FolderFontSource(@"path\to\my\folder");
FontRepository.Sources.Add(fs);

In case the problem persists then please share source and generated files along with narrowed down code snippet so that we may try to reproduce and investigate it in our environment. Moreover, please ensure using Aspose.PDF for .NET 18.12.

Thank you for your reply,

i don’t want to use a specific font from my folders, i would like to have the equivillant of setUnicode() in the new approach ( Aspose.Pdf.Document pdf) . I’m trying to convert txt files to pdf. It was working fine in previews versions of Aspose while including the pdf.setUnicode() function.

            Aspose.Pdf.Page page = pdf1.Pages.Add();

	 System.IO.TextReader objReader = new System.IO.StreamReader(inputFile);
	 do
            {
                Aspose.Pdf.Text.TextFragment t2 = new Aspose.Pdf.Text.TextFragment(objReader.ReadLine());
                page.Paragraphs.Add(t2);
            } while (objReader.Peek() != -1);

        objReader.Close();

Hi @asad.ali ,

This issue is also a roadblock for us. Do you know roughly when this will be fixed? We have to make a decision whether to purchase the license now or wait later. I understand that we only have a year to get fixes after purchasing.
