**Known issue:** After installing the August 2026 .NET Framework cumulative update, some WPF applications might fail with a `System.IO.FileFormatException` when printing or generating PDF/XPS content that uses certain fonts, including Calibri.

**Workaround:** Applications can mitigate the issue by enabling the `Switch.MS.Internal.TtfDelta.DisableCmapAndSbitOverflowProtection` AppContext switch in the app config file, as shown below.
