As a developer, I would like to get response details when a font is not found when converting to PDF

A customer is using Content Conversion Services to convert Office documents to PDF. For cases where a font is not found and PrizmDoc substitutes it during the conversion, the customer would like to have a mention of that in the returned response. To my understanding, PrizmDoc will provide this information in the logs, however. Currently, only cases where a font is missing in a header/footer or a watermark are reported in a response.

Having this ability will allow developers information that they could use to help obtain the right fonts for their system.

    We know that "font not found" is rare, but we would like to know about it when it happens. Since we currently get about 5~10 million files per month, even if it only happens 0.01% of the time it still affects ~500 users per month.
