Why Aspose.Cells substitutes an existing font?

Aspose.Cells Product Family
1

Hi, attached is a font called ‘CG-Omega’ and a sample XLSX file that uses it. When this font is installed in Windows MS Excel is using it without problems. However Aspose.Cells always substitutes it with another one. Why?

Warnings like this show the substitution:
“Aspose.Cells warning. type:FontSubstitution, description:Font substitution: Font [ CG Omega; Regular ] has been substituted in Cell [ A5 ] in Sheet [ Tabelle1 ].”

Here is a sample code that demonstrates it:

var doc = new Aspose.Cells.Workbook(inputFile);
doc.Save(outputFile, Aspose.Cells.SaveFormat.Pdf);

@DWProject,

Thanks for the template file, font files, screenshot and PDF file.

  1. Please try using our latest version/fix: Aspose.Cells for .NET v20.4.

  2. Please make sure that the font “CG-Omega” is installed on your machine. I have installed your provided font by copying all the .ttf files to “C:\Windows\Fonts” folder and then used Aspose.Cells for .NET v20.4 to convert your template file to PDF, it works fine and output file is fine tuned. There is no warning message too. See the output PDF file attached.

@DWProject,

We have analyzed the issue more and reproduced the issue on env(Win10 1909) by installing the font by right clicking on it and then choosing “install”(means install for current user). However, If we install the font by right clicking and then choosing “install for all users”, the output is OK.

This seems to be issue with Aspose.Cells and we need to look into it more. We have logged the issue in our database for investigation and for a fix. Once, we will have some news for you, we will update you in this topic.

This issue has been logged as
CELLSNET-47298 – Existing font substituted by Aspose.Cells
