	We only installed the Azure SDK and used the publish wizard to deploy the sample with all default settings. What should we change to make it run as "Azure Website"? Have you followed exactly same steps from the work-around above for FontCachePath? First set SuppressUnmanagedCode to false through PdfGraphics, then FontCachePath through PdfGraphics again, and finally enable PdfExporter.SuppressUnmanagedCode? PdfGraphics class is in the MindFusion.Pdf namespace from MindFusion.Pdf.dll assembly. We'll be releasing a new version in a few days where the work-around should not be required. Also it should work without setting FontCachePath if the font-records file is in the same folder as the MindFusion.Pdf.dll file (e.g. the bin folder of your website).

	An Azure "web site" is MS's most basic (and cheapest) ASP.net execution model that runs on a shared server (hence the security restriction). I did follow your work around exactly and still got the "file not found" exception. I will look forward to the new code release, hoping that may solve this problem. As a test I took one of your sample projects (flowcharter) and added just the PDF export to see if it would fail in the same way. It did. I can zip it up and send it to you if you like.

	Try the version from https://mindfusion.eu/_beta/netdiag505.zip, it should no longer need the PdfGraphics work-around.

	We have also managed to publish it as a web site here, export seems to work fine: http://mindfusion.azurewebsites.net/ You can find the modified tutorial project here: https://mindfusion.eu/_samples/azure.zip I hope that helps, Stoyan
