I need to convert some html to a PDF. I came across IText7 and it looks a good solution.
I am developing in .net core 3.1
But, even using a basic implementation of it I am getting an error:
string basicPage = "<html><body><h1>My First Heading</h1><p>My first paragraph.</p></body></html>";
using (FileStream pdfDest = File.Open(@"C:\Users\Trevo\Desktop\output.pdf", FileMode.OpenOrCreate))
{
ConverterProperties converterProperties = new ConverterProperties();
HtmlConverter.ConvertToPdf(basicPage, pdfDest, converterProperties);
}
The error is everyone's favourite of:
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
The inner exception is null and the only clue is the SerializationStackTraceString is:
at iText.IO.Font.FontCache..cctor()
So, it's pointing towards something to do with font?
The only suggestion I have found was to clean various directories and caches. I have created a clean solution from scratch and the same error occurs.
Can anyone offer any help please?

Try using default font provider
var converterProperties = new ConverterProperties();
converterProperties.SetFontProvider(new DefaultFontProvider(true, true, true));
