ImageGear uses Microsoft WPF for rendering fonts. For some particular font families, WPF may fail to load the correct typeface, although the specified font is present on the system - this is a known issue that has not yet been addressed. Due to this, the content displayed by ImageGear (font family/style, text layout, line spacing, etc.) may differ from the content displayed by Microsoft Office.
