.NET Standard 2.0 API Limitations

When running on Linux, install the following additional dependencies:

  1. Windows Fonts. Due to the lack of Windows fonts in Linux, GroupDocs.Viewer replaces document fonts with available ones. This can result in incorrect document layout when rendering to JPG, PNG, and PDF.

  2. SkiaSharp Native Assets. Install SkiaSharp.NativeAssets.Linux.NoDependencies 2.80.2 or later.

  3. System.Drawing dependencies - libgdiplus 6.0.1 or higher.

    Warning
    To install the latest version of libgdiplus, add the Mono repository to your system. See more at https://www.mono-project.com/download/stable/#download-lin.
