Text gets bold and truncated after DOCX to PDF conversion using .NET

[ServerSide527]

Hi,

When converting a DOCX with some text using the usual Arial font to PDF, the font of the text gets bold unexpectedly and pushed the text to two rows.

Code:
var doc = new Document(@".\test.docx");
doc.LayoutOptions.TextShaperFactory = Aspose.Words.Shaping.HarfBuzz.HarfBuzzTextShaperFactory.Instance;
doc.Save(@".\test.pdf");

Looking at the Fonts properties in the PDF, it looked like ‘Arial Bold’ was embeded even if it was not used in the DOCX.

I’ve attached the test files and a screenshot for your reference. Could you please help me take a look:

Hi,

I understood this issue is still being investigated. However, I’d like to get a bit background on this issue.

Could you provide some info on why/when the issue would happen? I could see in some of the text using Arial font, it uses ‘Arial’ correctly, but in some text, it used ‘Arial Bold’ mistakenly in PDF.

If we can have more visibility on when it would happen and what could trigger such issue, it will help on our side.

Thanks,
