How to use special fonts

Doconut Product Family
1

In my ppt, I have used some special fonts. I hope to retain the display effects of these fonts when generating preview images, rather than replacing them with others. How should I handle this?

I see there is a FontInfo property in PptConfig. Can it be used to solve this problem? How do I use it?

@qihangnet,

Regarding your question about keeping special fonts in your PowerPoint presentations, Doconut has no problem displaying special fonts if they are properly installed on the machine where Doconut server is running. If they are not found, they will be substituted.

If you have any further questions or encounter any difficulties, please don’t hesitate to ask.

I installed it in Docker, and I can check that the relevant fonts are installed correctly using commands. However, the fonts are not rendered as expected in the preview images, and are replaced with other fonts.

Can you provide me with a Dockerfile definition for special fonts that you have verified to work properly? I want to check if I missed anything.

Thank you very much.

@qihangnet,

I am pleased to inform you that the new version of Doconut 24.5.0 is now available. This update includes the ability to add custom fonts to PowerPoint files through PptConfig.

Below, I provide an example of how you can add the path where the fonts are located in PptConfig:

var config = new PptConfig()
                    {
                        FontFolders = new string[] { "PATH-FONT-FOLDER" } 
                    };

Do I need to purchase a new license to run the new version of the package?

@qihangnet,

To better assist you with the error you are getting, I would need to know the date you purchased your license, as Doconut includes free updates for the first 12 months from license purchase.

If your license is more than 12 months old, you will need to purchase a new one to be able to use the latest Doconut updates and improvements.

Please inform us of the date of your license acquisition so that we can offer you a suitable solution.

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any other questions or need any more help.

Hello,

this works great with PptConfig.

Is there a solution for WordConfig, too?

@clienau77,

We appreciate your suggestion regarding WordConfig. I will inform our development team about this feature request to evaluate the feasibility of adding support for special fonts in Word documents as well. If it is determined to be possible, it will be added to our development to-do list.

Thank you very much for your feedback which helps us to continue improving Doconut.
