How do I set FontDirectories in GroupDocs.Conversion .NET 24.2?

GroupDocs.Conversion Product Family
1

In a previous version (22.1) I was setting the FontDirectories of the ConvertSettings object.

Trying to upgrade to 24.2, this now looks like a read-only property and throws an error.

How can I set this so I can use custom fonts?

Please take a look at this document API reference. Let us know if you still have any query regarding font substitution.

No this is not what I’m looking for at all.

I’m using .NET on Linux so I have to reference 100s of Microsoft fonts, which I have done by setting the FontDirectories to the multiple directories that include my custom fonts.

Please fix this so that this property is no longer read only. All the other settings have both get and set functions. This is a major loss of functionality

Yes, the property FontDirectories is read-only, but you still may set folders:

var settings = new ConverterSettings();
settings.FontDirectories.AddRange(new List<string>
{
    ".",
    "/usr/share/fonts"
});

By default, the FontDirectories property contains the current working folder. If you need to clear the default value you can use the following:

settings.FontDirectories.Clear();

Please let us know if this works for you.
