Font Substitution Mechanism & Excel to PDF Conv. are Enhanced in Android Apps

LANE COVE, Australia - Aug. 15, 2014 - PRLog -- What’s new in this release?

Aspose development team is pleased to announce the new release of Aspose.Cells for Android v8.1.2. Aspose.Cells APIs generally use TrueType Fonts (TTFs) when a task involves rendering spreadsheets to images or portable formats such as PDF. Aspose.Cells detects which TTFs are required by scanning the spreadsheet styles and tries to find the required fonts on the machine where conversion is taking place. There could be situations when the required TTFs are not available. In such cases, Aspose.Cells substitutes the required font with a similar available one. With this release, Aspose.Cells provides the means to receive warnings if a font substitution has occurred during the spreadsheet rendering process. This mechanism is available through a set of classes, interfaces and properties that have been added with version 8.1.2. Aspose.Cells for Android 8.1.2 has provided fixes and other enhancements for several important issues, such as, reading/writing Microsoft Excel files, manipulating styles and calculating formulas, manipulating charts and shapes, Sheet to image bugs, Smart Markers issue, etc. This release includes plenty of improved features and bug fixes as listed below
