Hi Support Team,
I am facing problem while convert HTML to PDF.
All Inline rules are apply on PDF perfectly except Font.
I've used Font-family:montserrat in inline css, But for whole PDF it shows me Times new roman.
Please help to resolve Font Issue.
Thanks

Hi,
You will need to either use @font-face to declare the custom font through CSS (basically provide the Url of the font file so that the browser can load it from your server), or have that font installed on your server. Note that this is different from browsing the page on a client's machine. If the font is already installed on the client's machine, then the client's machine will display the font fine. However the converter runs on your server, so in order for the converter to render that font correctly, that font needs to be installed on the server or declared with @font-face so that it can fetch the font data from somewhere.
Thanks!

Hi, Here is my code. string html = "<div id=\"main\" style=\"font-size:12px;font-family:Montserrat;color:#0000ff;\"> HEllo </div>"; EO.Pdf.HtmlToPdf.ConvertHtml(html, e.Page); Other style are working for that Div but font-family is not working, How ever it works fine on ASPX page and shows me "HEllo" in Montserrat style. I've installed Font in my machine. Let me know if you need more information for this. Please help me to resolve my problem. Thanks, Yogen

You need to install the font on your web server. If that does not work, use @font-face instead.
Thanks!

Hi,
Please check three things:
1. Make sure you are using the latest build of EO.Pdf;
2. Do not use woff. Use ttf instead. If you use a Google font, download the ttf file directly and then use that font file;
3. Turn off Windows User Access Control;
Please let us know if those resolve the issue for you.
Thanks!

Hi,
I tried all possible way but still no solution. But when I create new ASP.NET website and write down that same text and use EO.Pdf.HtmlToPdf.ConvertHtml(htmlText, PdfFilePath);, It's working fine.
Is there anything related to web.config file or IIS that i used?
Please help me to solve this bizarre behavior.

Hi, In that case please use @font-face. @font-face does depends on anything on your system. If that still does not work, you can create a test project demonstrating the problem and send the test project to us. See here for more information on how to set the test project. http://www.essentialobjects.com/forum/test_project.aspxThanks!

Hi,
My problem is resolved if I run website under "Use Visual Studio Development Server".
But when I switch "Use local IIS web server" then it doesn't work.
I am using Windows 8 PC and IIS 8.5 server.
Is there anything security related problem or need to configure something on IIS?
Thanks for your support, Now just one stet to go.:)

Hi,
That usually has to do with permission settings. The reason is the user account that you used to run your website does not have enough permission to "see" that font. You can try to turn UAC off to see if it can see the font, or try to log in as that user and then install the font there. If everything fails, your only choice is to use @font-face CSS directive. That option will always work.
Thanks!
