Converting a docx to PDF - custom embedded fonts not being used

Question

I am using the Graph API convert content API (v1) to convert my SharePoint Online hosted files (docx) into PDF files.

The conversion has been working fine to date, however, I have now added custom fonts (proprietary) into the word doc - then I save the word doc with the font embedded.

I can open the docx file in SharePoint online and see the custom font - but when I convert the docx file to PDF using the Convert content API (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/driveitem-get-content-format?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http) the font is dropped from the PDF and it reverts back to Calibri?

Is this a known limitation, are ther any work arounds that are in place for me to use custom fonts? This is critical for our clients brand to proceed.

Hi @Mark Macumber ,

As far as I know, currently we don't have option to explicitly specify which font you can use with Graph API for conversion. You may try to sumit the request in Microsoft 365 Developer Platform: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-365-developer-platform/idb-p/Microsoft365DeveloperPlatform, so that it can be considered to be implemented.
