Fonts Used in the document

[nagalakshmi_hn]

Hello,

We use docx4j to merge multiple word documents. We need to know the font of a specific content , to be precise a paragraph. When I try to retrieve the fonts using the RPr fonts inside the content I am getting RprFonts as null. Is there any API for that?

Secondly, when I list the all the fonts used in the doc using mdp.getFontTablePart().getContents(), I am getting the default fonts as well. Is there a way to exclude the default fonts.

Thirdly, can I get a mapping between part and font like the font in header, footer, numbering part etc.

Your help will be very much appreciated.

Thanks,

Lakshmi

Hi Lakshmi, are you using Docx4j Enterprise to merge the documents? If so, please feel free to submit this post to support@plutext.com.

May I ask what is the use case for knowing the font?

Hello Json,

We are not using docx 4j to merge the documents. The document which we need to merge is typically very small. Hence, we are reading the contents of another document and adding the content list to the main document.

The use case is, when we are adding the contents of the document to be merged with the main document, the font of the content being merged is getting defaulted to Times New Roman. Our clients do not want this. They want to have the same font for the entire document. I am not able to make out the font of the previous paragraph in the main document where the new content is being merged. If I can know that font, I can set the same font to the content being merged. I thought I could figure out the fonts using mdp.getFontTablePart().getContents(), but it is giving default fonts as well. Hence, this query.

Thanks,

Lakshmi

Using java Syntax Highlighting

                PropertyResolver propertyResolver new PropertyResolver(wordMLPackage);         
                RPr rPr = propertyResolver.getEffectiveRPr(expressRPr, pPr);
                RFonts rfonts = rPr.getRFonts();

Thank you Json, but I didn't understand this bit in this method call.

RPr rPr = propertyResolver.getEffectiveRPr(expressRPr, pPr);

Here, what is expressRPr and what is pPr?

Thank you

Lakshmi

expressRPr: the rPr on the run (w:r) or r.getRPr()
pPr: the paragraph properties (w:p/w:pPr) or p.getPPr()
