Default font format

Aspose.Words Product Family

I am converting docx documents to html. Now I need to fetch the default (Normal) font format of a template document seperately from the content to use in the sites css.

My problem arises when I do the following:

Font font = doc.Styles["Default Paragraph Font"].Font; //Same for "Normal"

When I try to get the font name it gives me back “Times New Roman” when it should be “Century Gothic”.

Now the strange thing is that when I use the VS QuickWatch to enumerate the result view of my Aspose.Document variable the font gets updated (correctly).

I tried enumerating the document childnodes myself, adding new items, and lots of other desperate things. None worked.
Even if I enumerate the children and check their font I get “Times New Roman”. None of the runs seems to use “Century Gothic”.

I can however find the “Century Gothic”-font within the document’s FontInfos-list.
When I save the document the (style)font is correct (in MS Word). Even when creating a new document, copying the content (using keepSourceFormatting) Aspose returns “Times New Roman” and in generated MsWord-doc the font is correct."

I am using Aspose.Words 8.0, but when trying with the latest trial the same problem arises.

Hi Jonathan,

I think, I can propose you a very simple workaround of this issue. Since DOC format does not support MS Word 2007 Themes, formatting specified in themes is converting to direct formatting. So as a workaround, you can save your DOCX document as DOC, then open DOC file and then get font from this document.

// Open docx
Document docx = new Document("d:/test/myTemplate3.docx");
// Save it in doc format
docx.Save("d:/test/myTemplate3.doc");

// Open doc Word Document Document doc = new Document("d:/test/myTemplate3.doc");

foreach(var run in doc.GetChildNodes(NodeType.Run, true))
{
    Console.WriteLine(((Run) run).Text + " " + ((Run) run).Font.Name);
}
Console.Read();

Hi Imran,

Thank you for your reply. Your post put me in the right direction. For future reference, this is how I solved it using your work around:

Document doc = new Document("template.docx");

string runText = doc.GetChildNodes(NodeType.Run, true).ToArray().Cast<Run>().First(run => run.Font.StyleName.Equals("Default Paragraph Font")).GetText();
MemoryStream strDoc = new MemoryStream();
doc.Save(strDoc,  SaveFormat .Doc);
doc =  new  Document (strDoc);

Aspose.Words.Font font = doc.GetChildNodes(NodeType.Run, true).ToArray().Cast<Run>().First(run => run.GetText().Equals(runText)).Font;

As you can see, I used Linq 2 times to get a run with the correct style.
