A new feature has been added to get the list of fonts available in Aspose.Words font engine. We have added FontSourceBase.GetAvailableFonts method in Aspose.Words 18.7 that returns the collection of PhysicalFontInfo class. This class specifies information about physical font available.

Use TxtLoadOptions.DetectNumberingWithWhitespaces property instead of it. It has added new feature to remove personal information from the document. Starting from Aspose.Words 18.7, untyped containers like ArrayList have been replaced with typed containers like List. Obsolete method RemoveUnusedResources() was removed from Document class.
