Title: Aspose Pdf from HTML with OpenType font

Aspose.PDF Product Family

We have an issue with the OpenType font.
There are two fonts:

and the following code:
FontRepository.Sources.Add(new FolderFontSource(“Folder with fonts”));
var d = new Document(“index.html”, new HtmlLoadOptions()));
d.Save(“created by Aspose.pdf”);

When NotoSans font is used, it’s applied to numbers only, that’s expected result.

When NotoSansJP font is used, it’s applied to hieroglyph improperly.

Despite the symbols which look improperly, the text itself is correct (I can copy it from pdf, paste to Notepad and see the expected text).
For the comparison if the document with the same font is created via Adobe Acrobat, everything looks good.

So I conclude that font is embed incorrectly to pdf file when Aspose is used.

index.html:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <title>Title</title>
    <link href="style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" />

style.css:

    src: local('Noto Sans Regular'), local('NotoSansJP-Regular'),
    url('fonts/NotoSansJP/NotoSansJP-Regular.otf') format('embedded-opentype');
}
body {
    font-family: 'Noto Sans Regular', sans-serif;

We tested the scenario in our environment while using Aspose.PDF for .NET 21.2. We did not notice any issue. Please note that we tested the scenario in an environment where all Microsoft Essential Fonts were installed. However, we have used below line of code to include mentioned fonts as well in the FontRepository Sources:

FontRepository.Sources.Add(new FolderFontSource(dataDir + "Noto_Sans\\")); 
FontRepository.Sources.Add(new FolderFontSource(dataDir + "Noto_Sans_JP\\"));

Attached are the output PDFs generated at our end:

Could you please share steps to reproduce the issue. Please share what other fonts are installed/present in the font folder which you are including as new source to the FontRepository? Are you clearing font sources before including a new source for fonts? We will again test the scenario in our environment and address it accordingly.

In your example, the font was not applied at all

If you generate pdf from my html and css files, then please check that you have font path specified correctly in css

@font-face {
    ...
    url('fonts/NotoSansJP/NotoSansJP-Regular.otf') format('embedded-opentype');
}

My fonts folder contains only NotoSans and NotoSansJP. I’ve tried both: when these fonts are installed on the system and when aren’t. As a result, the NotoSansJP font is applied (this is noticeable by the numbers), but the hieroglyphs are broken.
FontRepository.Sources.Add (new FolderFontSource ("..."))
