spire.pdf.free - No Arial Font Found

[douglas.reis]

Hi,

Is there any way to manually add ttf-mscorefonts-installer within the project without needing to install fonts on the linux OS?

I'm using PdfStandardsConverter Object to convert a pdf to pdf/a and it's showing "No Arial font found" error.

Code: Select all

        PdfStandardsConverter converter = new PdfStandardsConverter(new ByteArrayInputStream(content));
        converter.toPdfA1A(outputStream);

I'm using spire.pdf.free 5.1.0.

Tks.

Hello,

Thanks for your inquiry.

You can refer to the code below to manually set the font folder path after getting fonts by ttf-mscorefonts-installer. If this is not what you want, please get back to me with more detailed information about your needs.

Code: Select all

PdfDocument.setCustomFontsFolders("/usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts");

I created a new folder called msttcorefonts inside the project and added the fonts inside it.

The No Arial Font Found error no longer happens, but now in some PDF conversions it is returning the error No 'TimesNewRoman' font found!.

Code: Select all

        OutputStream outputStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();

        converter.toPdfA1A(outputStream);


Attached are the fonts I'm using.

Tks.

Hi,

Thanks for your sharing.

From your code, you set a path of folder(msttcorefonts) for these fonts. But judging from the attachments you provided, you may have at least three font storage paths. The Time New Roman font exists in the "msttcorefonts 2" folder but not in the "msttcorefonts" folder. I'm not sure if this is causing the font cannot be found error. Please try to put all fonts in the same folder and set its path in the code.

Hi,

All fonts are in the same folder, I just separated them to attach here in the message because it only accepts attachments with up to 2mb.

tks.
