Hi Aspose,

Seems that Clone() method doesn’t clone the font.

Example:
original font name = Arial
clone font name = Times New Roman

Test file:ex.zip (11.2 KB)

Source code:

        Document doc = new Document("C:\\ex.doc");

        Body body = doc.FirstSection.Body;

        Node[] nodes = body.ChildNodes.ToArray();
        foreach (var node in nodes)
        {
            foreach(var n in ((CompositeNode)node).ChildNodes.ToArray()) {
                if(n.NodeType == NodeType.Run)
                {
                    Run run = (Run)n;
                    Console.WriteLine(n.GetText());
                    Console.WriteLine("original font name = " + run.Font.Name);
                    Run cloneRun = (Run)run.Clone(true);
                    Console.WriteLine("clone font name = " + cloneRun.Font.Name);
                }
            }
        }
        Console.ReadLine();

Thanks.

@spectr100,

Regarding WORDSNET-16668, we have completed the work on your issue and have come to a conclusion that this issue is actually not a bug. So, we have closed this issue as ‘Not a Bug’. Please see the following details:

Arial font name is specified in Normal paragraph style and Run node itself has no direct formatting. Cloned Run node has no parent until it is inserted somewhere so it returns only the directly applied formatting. Since there is no direct formatting at all, the default value “Times New Roman” is returned.
