Header/Footer Font

[William]

Hi there,

I am using the XlsIO control to export Excel files in my app as PDFs. The files contain custom fonts that are embedded with my app, I have managed to include these by using the application.SubstituteFont event. However this does not seem to work for text in the header or footer of the Excel file. This seems like a bug to me, or is there another way of achieving this?

Many thanks
