From version 15.1.0 upwards the word channel supports the usage of OpenType features of fonts. Such OpenType Features include the proportional or tabular number spacing.
This feature currently only works for Windows and is not supported on Linux (VM-NGIS): NGR-3463 - Getting issue details... STATUS
Enable OpenType Features support of the word channel
In the word channel options add the option:
"pdf.useOpenTypeFeatures": true
This will enable the usage of an external shaper (learn more: https://docs.aspose.com/words/java/enable-opentype-features/ )
The external shaper is required to parse font files which is expensive. Caching is enabled by default
