Remarks

When the UseFontSubstitution property is true, the Spreadsheet control substitutes fonts for characters that are missing in the current font. If a suitable font is found in a font cache, the Spreadsheet applies it to the entire cell text. This option specifies only how a document is displayed on screen and doesn’t affect printing or export to PDF (they use their own mechanism of font substitution).

C#

// Enable font substitution.
spreadsheetControl1.Options.View.UseFontSubstitution = true;

VB.NET

' Enable font substitution.
spreadsheetControl1.Options.View.UseFontSubstitution = True

The UseFontSubstitution property is in effect only if the new Spreadsheet layout engine is used.
