]
Please use the ImageOrPrintOptions.defaultFont property to set the default font while rendering spreadsheets to images. This property is effective only when the workbook’s default font cannot render your characters. The default font specified with the ImageOrPrintOptions.defaultFont property is used for all cells that have invalid or non‑existent fonts.
Set Default Font while rendering spreadsheets to images
The following sample code creates a workbook, adds some text in cell A4 of the first worksheet, and sets its font to an invalid or non‑existent font. Then, it renders two images of the worksheet. The first image is created by setting the ImageOrPrintOptions.defaultFont property to Courier New, and the second image is created by setting the same property to Times New Roman.
This is the output image after setting the ImageOrPrintOptions.defaultFont property to Courier New.

This is the output image after setting the ImageOrPrintOptions.defaultFont property to Times New Roman.
