Can Windows fonts be configured on Linux?

[cristalp]

We're using Spire.PDF to convert PDFs to PDF/A. This works well, and the productive solution runs within a Docker container where we add Windows fonts.
However, for building and testing it's difficult. Trying to convert a PDF which was written with the "Arial" font results in

class com.spire.ms.System.Exception: No 'Arial' font found!

Is there any way to configure Spire.PDF to use a certain path to find fonts?

Hello,

Thanks for your inquiry.
Kindly note that the document conversion process requires font files. If the system lacks the fonts used in the file, the program may throw an exception. Therefore, we recommend that customers install the fonts in the running environment. Of course, we also provide another way. Customers can specify the path where the font file is located through the following code, provided that you need to create a folder to store the font file. If you have any other questions, please feel free to write back.

Code: Select all

 PdfDocument.setCustomFontsFolders("fontfolder");
