Aspose.Cells for .NET 8.1.2 has been released. This release contains some useful features and improvements. It also includes over 20 fixes and other enhancements. However, if you are planning to upgrade your project to use the latest build, we recommend you to check the Public API Changes section first. Below, we list some major features and other enhancements in this month’s release.
Getting Warnings for Font Substitution
The Aspose.Cells APIs generally uses TrueType Fonts (TTFs) when a task involves rendering spreadsheets to images or portable formats such as PDF. Aspose.Cells detects which fonts are required by scanning the spreadsheet styles and then tries to find the required fonts on the machine where the conversion is taking place. There could be situations when the required fonts are not available. In such cases, Aspose.Cells substitutes the required font with a similar available one.
With this release, Aspose.Cells provides the means to receive warnings if a font substitution has occurred during the spreadsheet rendering process. This mechanism is available through a set of classes, interfaces and properties that have been added with version 8.1.2.
This is how you may use the latest API to Get Warnings for Font Substitution:
public class WarningCallback : IWarningCallback
{
public void Warning(WarningInfo info)
{
if (info.WarningType == WarningType.FontSubstitution)
{
Debug.WriteLine("WARNING INFO: " + info.Description);
}
}
}
//........
//........
void Run()
{
Workbook workbook = new Workbook("source.xlsx");
PdfSaveOptions options = new PdfSaveOptions();
options.WarningCallback=new WarningCallback();
workbook.Save("output.pdf", options);
}
Other Enhancements and Fixes
