Linux font equivalent for symbol and wingdings

4.1k Views Asked by At

I am using aspose words for java 20.6 and try to build a pdf from docx in linux. The docx-document has an unordered list with bulletpoints. These bulletpoints use the symbol font.

When i create the pdf with aspose these bulletpoints are shown in webdings font as a clapperboard.

I did not find any free font (for commercial use) that is an equivalent to the symbol font. Does anyone know a good solution to show correct bulletpoints in my unordered list?

I found the way to substitute fonts, but i don't know which font to use:

TableSubstitutionRule tableSubstitutionRule = fontSettings.getSubstitutionSettings().getTableSubstitution();
tableSubstitutionRule.addSubstitutes("Symbol", "?WHICH_FONT?");

You can check Google's Noto Sans Symbol font. Noto fonts are free, but I am not sure about commercial use.
