We are pleased to announce the new release of Aspose.Cells for .NET 8.9.0. Aspose.Cells for .NET API has provided the ability to specify the default font name for rendering spreadsheets to image formats. The DefaultFont property is of type System.String with default value as null. The said property can be used when Unicode characters in the spreadsheet have not been formatted with appropriate font in the cell?s style, consequently such characters may appear as blocks in the resultant images. It is advised to set the DefaultFont property to MingLiu or MS Gothic to show Unicode characters. If the DefaultFont property is not set, Aspose.Cells for .NET API will use the system?s default font to show the Unicode characters. It has exposed the a new property for the HtmlSaveOptions class that allows to specify the default font name while rendering spreadsheets to HTML format. The default font will be used only when a particular font used to format some contents in the spreadsheet does not exist on the machine where conversion process has to take place. The default value of the property is null that means, the API will use the universal font which has the same family with the original font. Aspose.Cells for .NET API has exposed the Boolean type IsExcel2003Compatible property for the PivotTable class which allows to specify if a given PivotTable is Excel 2003 compatible for refreshing purposes. The default value of IsExcel2003Compatible property is true, that means a string must be less than or equal to 255 characters. If the string is greater than 255 characters, it will be truncated. If false, the aforementioned restriction will not be imposed. There are some important enhancements in this release, such as expanding text from right to left while exporting spreadsheets to HTML, get the Release or Running Version of Aspose.Cells.GridWeb and add or Remove Context Menu Items in Aspose.Cells.GridWeb. We have handled a few exceptions regarding reading and writing Excel and HTML file formats. We have also handled an exception when calling Autofit operation on a worksheet. In this release, several important issues have been addressed. For example, issues around reading and writing Microsoft Excel file formats, copying worksheets, manipulating PivotTables, adding List Objects/Tables, converting spreadsheets to HTML files and vice versa, manipulating and rendering charts and shapes, rendering images from Excel worksheets, rendering images files from charts and exporting Excel workbooks to PDF format have been resolved.
