Generate PDF From Word Documents in PHP Using Aspose.Word API Render Incorrect Fonts

We generate PDFs from Word documents using Asponse.Cloud. For about the last week some of our templates are producing PDFs with the wrong font. No changes have occurred in the templates or our configuration. The problematic templates only contain the Arial font.

The issue only occurs intermittently. I have provided 2 examples of when the issue occurred. The PHP code we use is:

Sample Code to Convert Word Document to PDF

$api = new WordsApi($asposeSid, $asposeKey);
$mergeRequest = new Requests\ExecuteMailMergeOnlineRequest(new \SplFileObject($templateFileName), $dataFileName, true, 'UnusedFields,UnusedRegions');
$mergeResult = @$api->executeMailMergeOnline($mergeRequest);
$convertRequest = new Requests\ConvertDocumentRequest($mergeResult, 'PDF');
$pdf = $api->convertDocument($convertRequest);
