  I would like to set all unrecognized fonts when doing a PDF export to fallback to a single font.
  
  I tried using

  
  GC.Spread.Sheets.Print.PDFFontsManager.fallbackFont = function (font) {
      return response.encodedFont;
  }
  
  

  But the font still shows as a different one

  Hi,
  
  While using the fallbackFont, the font should be either Base64 string or ArrayBuffer. For reference, please refer to the following demo sample:

  If the issue persists, please share a demo sample depicting your issue.

  Hi,
  
  I still have the same issue, and I see the same issue in the demo sample that you have provided. If a user copies some text into the sheet, and then when I use the getCell().font() method the value returned is “normal bold 14.7px Helvetica Neue”. I have attached screenshots of what the cell looks like in the spread and then how it looks in the PDF export. As you can see they are different. How do we fix this issue to get the export output to look the same as the spread

  Hi,
  
  Please find the attached sample it converts the Arial font to “MTCORSVA.TTF” in an exported PDF file using fallBackFont.

  Hope it helps!
