Hi all,
I’ve trouble in exporting .doc files to .pdf on linux (ubuntu) / mac os x,

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Cannot find any fonts installed on the system.

Hello
Thanks for your request. When you render documents to PDF, XPS or convert to EPUB that requires embedding of fonts into a document, then Aspose.Words needs to have access to TrueType fonts. If you run Aspose.Words on a Windows system, then by default it will search for fonts in the system Windows\Fonts folder. But if you run Aspose.Words on a Linux system, it does not have a default location for fonts and you need to specify it explicitly.
Use the new com.aspose.words.FontSettings class and setFontsFolder/setFontsFolders methods to specify the location of TrueType fonts.

FontSettings.setFontsFolder("C:\\Users\\Andrey\\IdeaProjects\\awtest");
DocumentBuilder b = new DocumentBuilder();
b.getFont().setName("Water on the Oil");
b.getFont().setSize(72);
b.writeln("Hello World!");
b.getDocument().save("TestHelloWorld Out.pdf");
