# Symbols Are Appearing for a Number Column in PPT OLE Table

@peyton.xu
Can you please check for the font used in this ppt file?
We have installed some google fonts and it seems to be working for now. But it would be great if you could confirm that we can proceed with the font used here and this won’t cause similar issues in future.

Thank you for your feedback and details. We will further evaluate your issue and notify you promptly of any updates.

@manavjaiswal ,

The fonts used in the EMF image are “Noto Serif CJK TC SemiBold” and “Noto Sans Symbols”. We can’t guarantee that it won’t cause similar issues for other files since “Arial” font is not installed.
However, to reduce the possibility of this issue, you may find a font in the google fonts that has similar appearance with the “Arial” font used in the source Excel file. Then set fontSubstitutes at the beginning(at least before Workbook init): FontConfigs.setFontSubstitutes("Arial", new String[]{YourPreferFontName});. Aspose.Cells will try the font YourPreferFontName first if “Arial” is not installed.
