How to set a new font

Hello,

to test aspose.diagram i’ve only a page with a rectangle that contains the text “Hello Text”.

Now i want to set the font to another fontname.

I can read the actual font with following code

var fontID = myShape.Chars[0].Font.Value
var fontName = myDiagram.Fonts[fontID - 1].Name

The issued name is Times New Roman.

Now i want to set the font to Arial. I tried the following:

Aspose.Diagram.Font newFont = new Aspose.Diagram.Font();
newFont.Name = "Arial";
int fontIndex = diagram.Fonts.Add(newFont);
foreach (Aspose.Diagram.Char ch in myShape.Chars)
{
	ch.Font.Value = fontIndex;
}

After saving the file and open it in Visio the font is still the old one.
Do you have an example to change the font of a shape.

regards
steve

Thanks for your inquiry. We will add relevant examples to the documents.
Please try this sample code:

newFont.ID = fontIndex+ 1;
foreach (Aspose.Diagram.Char ch in myShape.Chars)
{
	   ch.Font.Value = newFont.ID; 
       ch.FontName.Value = newFont.Name;   //set font name for saving vsdx
}

Thanks.
