Check whether fonts in Word document are available in machine for PDF or image conversion
If the necessary fonts used in a Word document are not installed on the production machine, the DocIO library will use an alternate font for rendering the text. As a result, you may notice differences in the rendered text in the generated PDF or image files during the Word to PDF/image conversion process.
You can check whether the necessary fonts are available on the machine in two ways:
1. Using DocIO font substitution Utility (Recommended approach)
2. Using Microsoft Word application
1. Using DocIO font substitution Utility:
Syncfusion DocIO is a .NET Word Library that has a font substitution event handler to set alternate fonts for missing fonts in the Word document during Word to PDF/image conversion. Using this event handler, you can print the fonts used in your input document that are not available on the production machine. You can browse any Word document and print whether the necessary fonts are available on the machine. Then, you can install the necessary missing fonts.
2. Using Microsoft Word application:
