ExcelToPdfCUnicodeOptionsDetectFontsDirectory Property

public ExcelToPdfCUnicodeOptionseUnicodeDetectFontsDirectory DetectFontsDirectory { get; set; }

Public Property DetectFontsDirectory As ExcelToPdfCUnicodeOptionseUnicodeDetectFontsDirectory
	Get
	Set

Default value: Auto Possible values:

Auto - First tries to find the "Windows\Fonts" directory and in case of failure uses the directory from FontsDirectory property. In case of success finding directory "Windows\Fonts" the component will not search *.tff in Custom directory specified in FontsDirectory. Therefore some *.ttf files located in custom directory can be missed.

NotDetect - Unicode is disabled. Doesn't make any tries of reading HDD to find *.ttf files.

Custom - Doesn't try to find the "Windows\Fonts" directory and uses only the directory from FontsDirectory property to find all .ttf files.

Advice for developers who creates ASP.Net or Silverlight projects:

Some hosting providers disables any access to windows directories. For example, GoDaddy doesn't allow to read directory "Windows\Fonts".
We recommend to create own "Fonts" directory in your project and copy *.ttf files to it from "Windows\Fonts". You may copy only several fonts, but we recommend to put the font "Arial Unicode MS" - ARIALUNI.TTF anyway.
