Steps to save the before-changed font using C#:

  1. Load the font from the byte array by passing the appropriate FontDefinition to the Aspose.Font.Font.Open() Method.
  2. Read data from the just loaded TtfFont object.
  3. To save TTF Font to the disk declare the output Font file name with full path. To finish the process use the Save() Method.

C# Code for saving TrueType font to the disk

    using Aspose.Font;
    using Aspose.Font.Sources;
    using Aspose.Font.Ttf;
    //byte array to load Font from
    byte[] fontMemoryData;

    FontDefinition fd = FontDefinition.Open(new ByteContentStreamSource(fontMemoryData),
                FontType.TTF);
    TtfFont font = Aspose.Font.Font.Open(fd) as TtfFont;

    //Read some data from just loaded TtfFont object

    //Save TtfFont to disk
    //Output Font file name with the full path
    string fileName; 

    font.Save(fileName);
